I am hoping I got the correct discussion alias. I am trying to figure out if I
am going down a hole that I will not be happy with. My team uses Firebird's
embedded engine for a couple of things and we are currently on the 2.1.x line.
We are attempting to build embedded for Mac OSX using clang++ and libc++ but as
I have started this I am finding myself fixing a lot of syntactical errors.
There are lots of issues from c++11-narrowing checks among others. I can see on
some threads that there are developers building using clang but from what I can
glean that must only be happening on the 3.0 branch (I tried 2.5.x and it also
had issues building so I stuck with 2.1.x to try and fix things since we are
not looking to bump versions right now). If 3.0 is building with clang++ and
libc++ in 3.0 branch, then someone must have done some work. Does anyone know
if this is an achievable goal by just fixing the missing casts, template
compilation issues, string concat issues, ... The rest of our product is built
using clang and libc++ and we want this embedded component to be built with the
same tools. I also have not been able to locate the 3.0 code base (if that is
even something that is public domain) as I was going to compare my changes to
those in 3.0 (if the files still exist) just to sanity check my changes.
Thanks
Lee
PS: I also get a ton of warnings but I see some threads seem to indicate that
those are still there even in 3.0. I am not tackling those as they are, for
now, just annoying. I don't think they have been tackled.
