I am hoping to find a tool to help modify c++ code to work with g++
compilers/libraries version 3 and above. We have a large body of
software, thousands of source files and millions of lines of code, which
builds fine under gcc 2.96 (Mandrake linux, I realize not an "official"
gnu release). It was originally built on Sun/SGI platforms and still
compiles there with conditional directives to handle platform/compiler
differences.
As I pondered writing something to do the modifications, it occurred to
me that there is likely a piece of software out there to do what I need.
It's a similar situation to some time ago converting a group of C
programs from K&R to ANSI C, and the program 'protoize' was a godsend.
Among the things I know need to be dealt with are the namespace issue (
"using namespace std" and corrupting the std namespace, or inserting
std:: in all the appropriate places) and the new header names ( dropping
.h for C++ headers, and using cxxx instead of xxx.h for C headers).
There are probably other changes I have not become aware of yet.
I have scoured the web and newsgroups and not found anything but hope I
just haven't used the right search terms or searched the right places
yet. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ray
