Andrew Stitcher resolved PROTON-2208. ------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: proton-c-0.32.0 Resolution: Fixed > Change base C language/compiler requirements to C99 or equivalent > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PROTON-2208 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2208 > Project: Qpid Proton > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: proton-c > Reporter: Andrew Stitcher > Assignee: Andrew Stitcher > Priority: Major > Fix For: proton-c-0.32.0 > > > The current language supposedly supported for clients by proton-c is C89. The > current language allowed for implementing proton-c is the common subset of > C89 and C++03. This was to support Visual Studio which at the time didn't > support enough C99. > This led to significant build complexity so we can build proton-c as C++ on > Visual Studio. > Since Visual Studio 2013/2015, Visual Studio has had sufficient C99 support > to compile proton. > It would allow us to significantly simplify the build process, library usage > and ongoing code maintenance requirements if we only supported VS2015 and > later (or if necessary VS2013 - VS2015 would be better as it has C library > compatibility changes). Stripping the complex build hacks and header file > hacks that support earlier Visual Studio compilers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qpid.apache.org
