[PATCH] Fix build failure with GCC 4.3

Gengetopt 2.22 fails to build with the upcoming GCC 4.3 compiler (to
be released before and carried in Fedora 9). This tiny little patch fixes it: http://rishi.fedorapeople.org/gengetopt-2.22-gcc43.patch I also noticed that you use deprecated headers like stdio.h, stdlib.h, etc. instead of cstdio, cstdlib, etc.. Any particular reason? Or would you like a patch to fix them?

Even GCC 2.96 supports the modern C++ style headers: debray@tista[205] cat hello.cpp #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main (void) { cout << "Hello world" << endl; return 0; } debray@tista[206] g++ --version 2.96 debray@tista[207] g++ hello.cpp debray@tista[208] ./a.out Hello world debray@tista[209] Considering we are going to have 4.3 sometime soon, I do not think we should bother too much about losing backwards compatibility. :-) Happy hacking, Debarshi -- "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life." -- Arthur Ashe _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list Help-gengetopt@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt |

It really depends on how often someone argues with their compiler. I have called g** an asshole 4 times today. Since many packagers are brain dead and people elect grab the official source tgz to get gengetopt (minus) whatever a packager does to it, I would think backwards compat is paramount. However, changing the headers (should not) break anything for most people.. but I see no urgent reason to do it at this point in favor of airing on the side of caution. Not saying its a bad idea. Just my two cents. Cheers, --Tim _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list Help-gengetopt@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt |

Flatly categorising them as "brain dead" is insulting.

I am one of those packagers :) Wow, the first almost-flame on the list... ;-) just kidding! however, if gcc 2.95 supports cstdlib and co, probably we should switch to such headers... also because, if I'm not wrong, if the compiler cannot handle cstdlib headers it won't handle iostream (without the .h) either, am I right? cheers Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.

I will try that on GCC 2.96 tomorrow and let you know.

It works: debray@tista[41] cat hello.cpp #include <cstdio> using namespace std; int main (void) { printf("Hello world\n"); return 0; } debray@tista[42] g++ --version 2.96 debray@tista[43] g++ hello.cpp debray@tista[44] ./a.out Hello world debray@tista[45] Happy hacking, Debarshi -- "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life." -- Arthur Ashe _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list Help-gengetopt@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt |
