Has anyone ported the ATT C++ 2.0 source distribution for the SGI Irix ? If you have, can you either send me the diffs or give me some pointers as to how to tackle the problem. Thanks, Edwin -- Edwin Allum edwin@csri.utoronto.edu CSRI, University of Toronto

There are several bugs in the cross-compilation procedure you'll need to overcome: the +x switch doesn't work, the undef for compiling size.h is incorrect for some systems, you need to use the -B switch on nm for "munch" to work properly, etc. Contact sandy@alw.nih.gov for details, since he's the one who did the work.

As you might expect, there were many bugs that we fixed. This product is the same product that we use in house on many of our projects. (For example, Workspace is in C++ and the SGI UI toolkit is in C++.) By the way, many of those bugs were not in cfront but in ccom (the C compiler). This was in large part due to not being an ANSI C compiler. By the way (again), We will be releasing an ANSI C compiler later this fall. Oddly enough, C++ did not drive the release of an ANSI C compiler -- indeed, it is just a happy coincidence as we have been working on an ANSI C compiler since mid 1989. I think there are still a few slots open in our beta test program. If you are interested, contact John Wilkinson (jfw@sgi.com). He is the C++ project leader. Bean
