Re: libc++ vs. libstdc++ usage in the ports tree (was: Re: Are clang++ and libc++ compatible?)
https://wiki.freebsd.org/NewC++Stack says things about linking against both libc++ and libstdc++ , do they still apply?

How different is this from the previous situation? As I understand it previously A_defcompiler would be linked against the system libstdc++ and B_gnuish would be linked against the gccXX port libstdc++. In my experience libstdc++ does not have good ABI stability between versions so shouldn't you have the same potential for problems? ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

In my experience libstdc++ does not have good ABI stability between versions so shouldn't you have the same potential for problems? I haven't seen a problem with mixing the system's libstdc++ with a version from lang/gcc46. I can assure you that the problem is very really with libc++ vs libstdc++ within the ports collection. To getting working news/pan and math/octave, I had to recompile graphics/graphite2, graphics/libGL, graphics/libGLU, and x11-toolkits/fltk with USE_GCC=any to avoid the conflict. Fortunately, I have only another 360 installed ports to check for the conflict. -- Steve ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
