[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-683?page=comments#action_12434743 ] Geoff Winn commented on TUSCANY-683: ------------------------------------
JIRA 717 made code changes that are needed if stdcxx is used (ie fixes for latent bugs in the SDO code) JIRA 724 modifies the MS VC 7.1 build to allow stdcxx to be used. It remains to modify the Linux build and also to provide documentation explaining the changes that are needed when migrating a project to stdcxx. > [SDO for C++] Adopt Apache stdcxx as an alternative standard C++ library > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TUSCANY-683 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-683 > Project: Tuscany > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ SDO > Affects Versions: Cpp-current > Environment: Windows XP and Linux > Reporter: Geoff Winn > > There is an Apache incubator project to develop an implementation of the > standard C++ library (their web site is here > http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx). Currently, in SDO for C++, we use the > library provided by whichever platform we happen to run on. Using the Apache > stdcxx library instead would provide us with a number of benefits > - It is available on a wide range of platforms > - It is the same implementation on all of them (so avoids obscure bugs from > slight differences in C++ libraries) > - It is open source so we can contribute fixes rather than writing around > problems. > - We become better citizens of the Apache community > The one difficulty is that once SDO links against the stdcxx library then all > users of SDO must also do so. Therefore, > implement a build time switch that chooses between whatever the platform > offers (ie the current arrangement) and stdcxx, defaulting to the current > arrangement. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
