Re: [Bug-apl] Latest Solaris porting issues

[Elias Mårtenson]

I'm pretty sure it's the last possibility. Standard C does support dynamic array which C++ does not.

Hi Alias,

I have added your patch so the resolved issues should be fixed in SVN 194.

The gt_INTL_MACOSX: issue should also be fixed, thanks to a hint from Peter Teeson.

For the other ./configure warning I would need to know which other header files are needed
in order to compile on Solaris (and possibly the guard macros macros in those header files).

For the -rdynamic I have replaced it by -Wl,-E. Please let me know if that works better.

The test for dynamic arrays is in configure.ac line 98ff. In theory your compiler could have
optimized away the dynamic array (unlikely). Another possibility is that your C compiler supports
dynamic arrays and the C++ compiler does not. To avoid that I have added AC_LANG to configure.ac.

Here are the issues I faced when building r190 on Solaris:

Unresolved issues

These are issues that still need to be addressed:

Warning when running ./configure:

Another warning in ./configure:

Dynamic arrays detection doesn't seem to work

Is there any detection magic for dynamic arrays in configure? HAVE_DYNAMIC_ARRAYS was set to 1 in config.h for me.

If not, I could give it a try to write it for you.

The flag -rdynamic does not worn on Sun C++

This flag is GCC-specific. It can't be used on non-GCC compilers.
