Re: [ANN][WIP] Library app for 3D visualization system
-- Sent from my GNU/Linux N900 - Original message - I just try gcc-snapshot from new Ubuntu and I can build Objective-C++ with it now. It failed on some methods that look like message::, ie. having any argument w/o textDescription: I tried a few variants but couldn't reproduce the problem (using GCC trunk). Can you send me an example of the lines that fail ? In general, I would encourage you (and everyone else having any problems with Objective-C or Objective-C++ in GCC) to submit a bug report to GCC -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/index.cgi Unless bugs are reported, they will never get fixed. ;-) I'm fairly sure that applies to clang too, and it may be worth spending the bit of time to figure out what is crashing it, and submitting a bug report to clang as well ;-) Thanks Hehe Hopefully soon but better if someone decided to do that before me. I barely know C++ and minimizing things isnt easy. For gcc I didn't test it well enough but it is nothing serious ATM, unlike clang's crashing case which was blocking some moves. For current the gcc-snapshot in ubuntu it seems it was confused somthing with C++'s :: but this one is easy to avoid. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Cool project. I will try this later.
