Geoff, I have updated to the latest snapshot tree and am giong to correct my patches from earlier to match the latest snapshot. Sparc C 4.2 gives me the following error compiling htlib/HtVector.cc /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -DDEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE=\"/opt/htdig/c onf/htdig.conf\" -I../include -I../htlib -I../htnet -I../htcommon -I../htword -I../db -I../db -I/usr/local/include -g -c HtVector.cc CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -DDEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE=\"/opt/htdig/c onf/ htdig.conf\" -I../include -I../htlib -I../htnet -I../htcommon -I../htword -I ../db -I../db -I/usr/local/include -g -c HtVector.cc -o HtVector.o "HtVector.h", line 106: Error: Virtual function HtVector::Copy() const returns HtVector*, while Object::Copy() const returns Object*. 1 Error(s) detected. gmake: *** [HtVector.lo] Error 1 maelstrom:~/broadvision/htdig/htlib> My experience with C++ and polymorphism backs the changes that I made, having ::Copy return the less specific 'Object' type and narrowing to the correct type would be the developer's responsibility. Now I can check this against SparcC 5.x but I think I'm going to have to run in --compat=4 mode as the project I'm working towards is based on Sparc C 4.2. -- David J.
