[format] patch for tru64cxx65
by Markus Schöpflin 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hello, attached is a patch which makes the format tests compile on tru64cxx65. It turns out that the compiler has troubles with the following code snippet: ---%<--- template <class X> class foo; namespace detail { template<class X> void bar (foo<X>& self); } template<class X> class foo { public: template<class Y> friend void detail::bar(foo<Y>&); }; --->%--- This gives the following error message: cxx: Error: /usr/users/schoepf/net/tmp/test_namelookup.cpp, line 13: declaration is incompatible with function template "void detail::bar(foo<X> &)" (declared at line 5) friend void detail::bar(foo<Y>&); ----------------------^ There are several possible workarounds I found, namely moving bar() out of the detail namespace, or making bar() a simple member of foo (not a member template), or just removing the friend declaration alltogether. I decided to use the latter workaround as it is already present in the format library for other compilers.

New option for regression.py
by Markus Schöpflin 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hello. I have done a patch for regression.py which adds a new option '--test-options'. I needed this to pass options to the actual test run. For example: python regression.py --toolset=tru64cxx65 --test-options='-sPYTHON_VERSION="2.3" -sPYTHON_ROOT="/opt" -sPYTHON_INCLUDES="/opt/include/python2.3 /opt/exec/OSF1-V5.1-alpha/include/python2.3"' Any interest in this?

I think the best approach would be in a comment, since adding copyright markup to each file would require adding code in the XSLT files to prevent it from being rendered.

VC8.0 and algorithm/string/replace failure
by Victor A. Wagner Jr. 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

I compiled replace_test with vs.net2005 and debugged it. It clearly throws an exception, and re-throws it later from the test framework, which causes the "ask to terminate abnormally" message. BUT............ the output window has the following in it _before_ the exception is thrown: error: list iterators incompatible, at g:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\list: 283 I'm not sure why it thinks the iterators are incompatible, but.... it might help the author(s) to have the above error mentioned in the failure log (I don't know why it's not there) Victor A.
