Hello!
Currently, the name mangling scheme used on this platform is the default one selected by the compiler. It turns out that this is a bad choice when compiling boost. The problem is illustrated by the following example:
---%<--- #include <iostream> using namespace std;
template <typename T> void foo(T const &x) { cout << "1" << endl; }
template <typename T> void foo(T * const &x) { cout << "2" << endl; }
int main() { foo("abc"); return 0; } --->%---
This prints out "2" with the default name mangling scheme. When manually selecting "ansi" as the name mangling scheme, the correct result "1" is printed.
Therefore I propose to explicitely set the name mangling to ansi in the tools file for this compiler. Does anyone have any strong feelings or arguments against such a change?
No strong feelings, just selfish worries. I am usually compiling with -std strict_ansi. Is that automatically giving me the "ansi" name mangling scheme? Which switches do you want to add to the toolset? Ralf __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail is new and improved - Check it out! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
