i've checked in the Apache Standard C++ Library v4.2.1 in dude, with all the
configure + build juju, but i have *not* enabled this new version in its *.pspc
file, yet.
Things to know about configuring/installing this new version (if anyone is
brave
enough to try):
1. The configure.sh script for 4.2.1 will ***REMOVE*** the existing stdcxx
4.1.3
header files and directories, before proceeding with the configuration.
2. The header files installation location for stdcxx 4.2.1 is now
${prefix}/include/stdcxx/ansi/ and ${prefix}/include/stdcxx . This way, when we
upgrade to a newer version (in the future) we won't have to remove the old
header files, we'll just do "mv stdcxx stdcxx-4.2.1".
3. Because of the header file location change, we are going to have to change
flags.inc and flags64.inc, to say:
%define _INCLUDES_COMMON -I%{_foss_include}/stdcxx/ansi \
-I%{_foss_include}/stdcxx -I%{_foss_include}
before everything else.
4. You no longer have to do the magic juju with figuring out the installation
location of Sun Studio 12 for the Standard C Library forwarding header files
(<cstdio>, <cstdlib>, etc). For 4.2.1, these files are being patched and
created
correctly at patch time.
5. Test results for stdcxx 4.2.1 are available online:
