Hello All,
I just successfully merged the trunk (future GCC 4.8) svn rev 190745
into the MELT (www.gcc-melt.org) branch (svn rev 190778).
In particular, this meant merging the C++ conversion into the MELT branch.
That merge was a bit painful, because of the C -> C++ conversion.
Most of the pain was build procedure related.
The PPL related code has been entirely removed from MELT.
I discovered a strange property of C++ regarding symbols. If you just code
// file foo1.cc
extern "C" {
const int twosymb=2;
};
the resulting foo1.o does not define a twosymb symbol (I expected that it does).
You have to code
// file foo2.cc
extern "C" {
extern const int twosymb;
const int twosymb=2;
};
to get a symbol "twosymb" in foo2.o
I expect the next release of MELT plugin to be compatible with GCC 4.7,
also hopefully perhaps still with GCC 4.6, and with the trunk (i.e. 4.8).
Regards.
