Hi All,
We are starting to try and integrate the latest CVS sources into our
MGL graphics library, but are having a hell of a time getting the
code to compile properly. Specifically we are building the code using
the Watcom C++ 11.0 compiler, and are running into problems with
badly used token pasting and compiler warnings all over the place. Is
anyone actually building the latest CVS sources on a regular basis
with compilers other than GNU C on Linux? I certainly didn't expect
to see these types of problems rampant throughout the latest CVS
sources.
The problem with token pasting is simple to fix. The code is
currently constructed like so:
#define TAB(x) blah_blah_##x##_table
and used like so:
TAB(4ub);
The problem with this is that the '4ub' value passed to the macro is
interpeted by many compilers as the unsigned value 4 followed by the
character b. The solution to this problem (and what we do in our code
where we do this type of thing) is to always use an underscore in
front of the names passed to macros that use token pasting:
#define TAB(x) blah_blah##x##_table
TAB(_4ub);
We are changing our sources to fix this, but I don't have CVS set up
on the machine that we are doing this with at the moment. Hence it
would be appreciated if this change could be made to the CVS sources.
As for the compiler warnings, when I get some time I will look into
the problems and figure out how to work around them to get a clean
build.
Regards,
