OK, I didn't think it was OK to assume GCC was the compiler,
It isn't, indeed. Although well, to be fair we probably have no idea
what happens if it's not GCC-like. Or maybe I even remember there was
problems with MSVC?
I guess it would be the same result as passing something like
`-Wl,--export-dynamic` on platforms that don't support it (ie.
compilation/linking failure). Even a GCC-clone like Clang has some
different options, for example to limit errors is `-fmax-errors=N` on
GCC and `-ferror-limit=N` on Clang (at least last time I tried). So I
guess even if a compiler is GCC-like, passing an invalid `-Wfoo` might
be bad, if not fatal.
MSVC is a totally different story WRT to flags of course :)
We disabled MSVC some time ago (see "geany-plugins fail to build with
msvc"). In short, cl recognices "template" as C keyword :)
I thought Matthew fixed that so we could use C++ plugins.
Only in the headers, if 'template' is still used in source files it
would choke a compiler that thought it was a C keyword.
and the
CFLAGS / LDFLAGS obtained from pkg-config under win~1 are suitable
for gcc, not MSVC.
pkg-config on Windows supports an option called `--msvc-syntax` which
presumably outputs CL-compatible flags.
But that is indeed a problem, presumably because things like gtk
binaries have been cross compiled for win, not with msvc. Also is it
It shouldn't matter, C has a defined ABI AFAIK.
still true that g++ and msvc++ binaries can't be linked?
I think just because of C++ not having a defined ABI and compilers
choosing to implement name-mangling and such differently. I don't think
it matters for Geany though since nothing external would be linked with
C++ symbols, even Scintilla's exposed stuff is plain/extern C AFAIK.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
