New releases of g++ 1.25.0 and libg++ 1.25.0 are available.
* About g++, Michael Tiemann says:
GNU C++ 1.25.0 is now available on prep.ai.mit.edu. The complete
distribution is in the compressed tar file
/u2/emacs/dist-g++.tar.Z
which is a symbolic link to:
/u2/emacs/g++.tar-1.25.0.Z
Diffs are available (from 1.22.2) in the compressed file:
/u2/emacs/g++.diffs-1.22.2-1.25.0.Z
No new version of GDB+ is being distributed at this time.
This release contains fixes for all bugs reported as of Friday, August
12, 1988. It has compiled (with -O -finline-functions) OOPS version 1
(test and vectest) and the (modified) version of InterViews 2.3 which
haunted prep at one point, as well as libg++ 1.25.0.
The compiler has also compiled tests from libg++ on the Sun4, but
because there is no linker support (as yet), they can only be run from
GDB, calling the static constructors by hand. If someone has the
inclination to make GNU LD handle the Sun4, I would appreciate it.

* Some installation notes [from dl]:
* The top of the diffs file contains instructions to delete
two files and create another. These must be done
manually before running `patch' with the rest of the file.
* the diffs do not include the following fix (which *is* in the
tar.Z version (but was not in a version that was briefly on prep
before this posting)). Cut this out and apply *after* running
patch with g++.diffs-1.22.2-1.25.0:

! char *buf = (char *)alloca (IDENTIFIER_LENGTH (current_class_name)

* The very first diff to Makefile will almost surely fail. If so, be
sure to perform these changes by hand.
* On some BSD based systems, `extern int errno;' must be
added to the top of file `lex.c'.
* Vax users (at least) should apply the local-alloc.c patch recently posted
to bug-gcc before compiling g++ with gcc. You may want to
compile and use g++ without optimization (-O).
* About libg++:
The distribution is on prep /u2/emacs/libg++.tar-1.25.0.Z. This
version contains one major bugfix, a few minor ones, some minor
changes and improvements, some new classes, and many new container
class prototype files. Read the README.
P.S. Thanks to the many who sent uniformly positive responses about my
GNU posting last week.

Read the README. -- After installing gcc-1.25, g++-1.25 my compilation of test/test11.cc got me the following: $ g++ -g -O -fchar-charconst -c test11.cc In function int main (): test11.cc:76: Segmentation violation g++: Program c++ got fatal signal 11. *** Error code 1 This is on a Sun3/60 running SUNOS 3.5. Any ideas? rich
