Re: [boost] wgcc 2.0 RC1 released

I must admit, that i never used gdb on cygwin, but it was a problem in my company, before i came in. I'm only there for porting from unix to win32, and since all other solutions didn't fit, i wrote wgcc. This doesn't meen that other solutions are bad or something, it's just that we have tons of code (our "toolsbox" consists of 115 projects, and needs about 7 hours to build on my computer - and this is just the basis of our real projects) which need to be built without much porting effort, or i would go crazy. On the other hand debugging in visual studio is very comfortable. We all debugged in gdb, and on unix platforms, it will still stay standard (haha, there's nothing else i think, that could be used there ;o)), but on windows platforms, visual studio is simply *better*. At least thats my (and i think *our*, at the company) opinion. With MinGW, there is the debug info problem left over, everything else should be ok there as far as i know. MinGW has still benefits over wgcc too, for example it understands gcc's specialities, like __attribute__ or whatever... Wgcc on the other hand understands microsofts specialities, and may produce faster code, but i never profiled it until now.

[Boost-bugs] [ boost-Patches-1558580 ] jam:"VAR on TARGET ?= values" unconditionally assigns values
by SourceForge.net 20 Sep '06

Patches item #1558580, was opened at 2006-09-14 07:44 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by grafik You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=307586&aid=1558580&group_… Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Yakov Markovitch (markovitch) Assigned to: Rene Rivera (grafik) Summary: jam:"VAR on TARGET ?= values" unconditionally assigns values Initial Comment: "VAR on TARGET ?= values" unconditionally assigns values, i.e. works like "unconditional" assignment. This bug is extremely insidious, since there is no hint of wrong behaviour at all (it costed me a full day of futile debugging of my jam script before it dawned upon me that it is something wrong with assignment). Interesting, that documentation actually doesn't mention that "default assignment" is available on target, i.e. this is a "feature", but this requires _very_ attentive reading of documentation and is quite inconsistent. And even so it is a bug: there should be at least a syntax error! There are two ways to fix this bug: 1. Bring code into sync with doc, i.e. patch the syntax so that "VAR on TARGET ?= values" would be a syntax error. IMO strange, inconsistent and inconvinient. 2. Patch addsettings so that it handled default assignment correctly. The proposed patch implements the latter approach. The addsettings() function now accepts "setflag" (VAR_SET, VAR_ADD, VAR_DEFAULT) the same way as var_set() does, instead of logical "append" parameter. All addsettings() calls patched accordingly. Besides, it factors out the logic of converting ASSIGN_XXX compilation flag into corresponding VAR_XXX variable set flag into a separate static function. The patch is against CVS HEAD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rene Rivera (grafik) Date: 2006-09-20 11:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33595 Thanks for the patch :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=307586&aid=1558580&group_… ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

[Bind][Signals] visit_each workaround for GCC 3.3.x
by Doug Gregor 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

All i can talk of is my experience using interix, since i didn't use cygwin that much. Cygwin was more or less dead at out company when i came in. The yhad too much problems with the cygwin builds. Some of the problems are, that the w32api for cygwin and mingw is not the *real* w32api, but some own thing they built. I really don't know how this w32api behaves, or if it has any drawbacks. As for gdb, the version that comes with interix 3.5 is from i-don't-know-when (seems like year 2k or something), so many years old. Maybe newer versions would work better. Debugging C code is not a problem, everything works fine there, but never try to debug C++, you'll get 10 lines far or so (until first using a STL string.....) ;o) As of the import/export problems with MS, wgcc really does a lot in this direction, one can say most of it's code is just for those problems. And i think it manages to push things in the right direction. One has to _only_ put __declspec(dllimport) in place where needed, and that _only_ for Data symbols. There is no need to differenciate static and shared libraries, just put the import everywhere ;o) wgcc manages the rest. -----Original Message----- From: libtool-bounces+markus.duft=salomon.at(a)gnu.org [mailto:libtool-bounces+markus.duft=salomon.at@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Brendon Costa Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 10:43 AM To: David Abrahams Cc: boost(a)lists.boost.org; libtool(a)gnu.org Subject: Re: [boost] wgcc 2.0 RC1 released David Abrahams wrote: > "Duft Markus" <Markus.Duft(a)salomon.at> writes: > >> When building with wgcc there are a few benefits: >> >> Wgcc uses the native windows compiler to build (so the code may or >> may not be faster ;o)) and whats a lot more important: the debug >> information produced is readable by visual studio, so you can debug >> the output.

Code may not be faster. It really depends on the implementation of the compiler. The differences would be negligible from my understanding, though with more resources MS may be able to optimise some things in their compiler... I don't know. I do prefer the MS debugger, but my experience with GDB is that it also works fine in windows (Under Cygwin and with MSYS/MinGW) and achieves its purpose well enough (I guess not using emacs is part of my problem :-) as it seems a little more clunky to use having to type in all these breakpoints... I need a GUI frontend for GDB i think...) >> The second thing is, that resulting executables depend on msvcrt.lib >> and are therefore binary compatible with nearly everything ;o) on >> windows. > > That's also true of MinGW, right?

Sometimes a company might distribute a C++ library + some header files (Without any source code). I have encountered this before. Since the ABI is not the same between MSVC and MinGW/GCC it forces you to use the compiler they have created the libraries using (Unless it is a pure C interface) and if you have a desire to use the autotools build framework (autoconf/automake/libtool) then this could be useful. Having a wrapper for MSVC that behaves like gcc would mean that you can use the autotools (A particulary important part of it is libtool for this discussion) build framework with the MSVC compiler. This may be beneficial in some situations instead of using the MSVC build environment. I tried cccl a while ago and shortly discovered a HEAP of issues especially trying to compile things using libtool. So i went and started my own shell script wrapper that improved on cccl. It got a fair way but i was not willing to put more time into it and being a shell script like libtool it slows compiling down a bit on large projects. Plus there is no way to fix the auto import problem with MSVC. So i gave up on that line of thought. From my understanding, wgcc is a compiled wrapper similar to cccl but it has had a lot more features put into it so it better "emulates" gcc. This has got advantages though is not suitable in a lot of situations. Instead of using a wrapper for the compiler/linker i have just started using a different build toolset from automake/libtool. Jam and Scons are two good examples that can use either compiler without having to force the usage of MSVC to behave like gcc. Anyhows, Thats just my two cents worth on the subject...

There are plans to get distcc working on interix with wgcc, but these plans are somewhere in the future. But on the other hand it cannot be too complicated, since wgcc should behave like gcc ;o) If you give it a try, i would be really happy about feedback. P.S.: I knew that people would have interest if they only knew about the project ;o) Cheers, Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: boost-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] Im Auftrag von David Klein Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.

Hi! Maybe you want to give RC1 a try, just for testing, not productive. I really need people using it, and telling me if theres something wrong. I've gotten _no_ feedback until now, and it's the second version now ;o) I'm only using it myself but for myself (here at my company of course) i got a list of 115 projects now compiling with it, including many open source projects. Cheers, Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: boost-bounces(a)lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] Im Auftrag von Russell Mok Gesendet: Dienstag, 19. September 2006 21:42 An: boost(a)lists.boost.org Betreff: Re: [boost] wgcc 2.0 RC1 released I have been using interix for roughly 2 years, so I am definitely interested in wgcc (not RC1 though). There were a few reasons for me to choose interix over Cygwin. Licensing/cost was one. Tools not expecting "\r\n" at the end of line or '\' as root directory (including many in-house scripts) also worked under interix with minimal porting efforts. Besides, interix is on top of the windows kernel, not win32 API. Hence it should be 'lighter' than Cygwin. On the other hand, interix is not available on the 'Home' edition of windows.

BoostBook/QuickBook automated testing tools ASAP!

http://boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/extension.htm… shows: namespace traits { template<typename Struct, int Pos> struct tag_of<boost::fusion::example_struct_iterator<Struct, Pos> > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ { typedef example_struct_iterator_tag type; }; } Now, surely, the authors didn't intend example_struct_iterator to be defined in namespace boost::fusion. The example where it's defined doesn't show any namespace declaration. This sort of problem either has to be flushed out by an automated tool or it needs to be painstakingly weeded out by hand, usually in response to user complaints that the examples don't work. You *will* get complaints, but by then it will be too late to save users the pain. I will be more than happy to work with someone on adapting LitRE to BoostBook. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
