Subject: Inline::CPP Namespaces.
Thanks to Rob for pointing the way to a patch to detect header
filenames. With a few adaptations I've applied it to a dev. version
of Inline::CPP.
One thing I overlooked.
With one of the x64 Microsoft compilers that I have (namely, the one that
ActiveState uses to build their x64 ActivePerl), it's necessary to link to
bufferoverflowU.lib to build *any* executable.
With that compiler, your Inline-CPP-0.33_002 test executable fails to build
(because of no linking to bufferoverflowU.lib) and the (wrong) decision is
made that iostream.h is needed.
This is not such a big deal in this particular instance, since this compiler
has *both* iostream *and* iostream.h, but I see the potential here for a
problem (eg, if there's an MS compiler somewhere out there that has only
iostream, and also needs to link to bufferoverflowU.lib).
I'll try and come up with a solution to this - haven't succeeded yet. (MS
compilers can be absolute shit to work with, and I try to avoid using them
for that reason.)
I expect that this troublesome compiler would only be used with x64
ActivePerl builds - even then, it's rare.
Cheers,
Rob
