Hi,
I managed to compile a project using DMC v8.29n that was originally compiled
using Symantec C++ v7.2 I am now trying to add some STL code to the original
C-only code.

My setup is:
Windows 2000 SP2
Location of DM:  c:\dev\dm

In one of the files, I just added a "#include <vector>" to see if the new code will compile. I am using the SGI STL library that came with the DMC download.

I get the following errors:

The -D macro definitions and compiler command line options were from the original Makefile using Symantec C++ v7.2 (which DMC compiled successfully, without the "#include <vector>" line). The file console.c contains the "#include <vector> line".

I find this weird as I have written a test case using strings and vectors which compiles(and runs) fine using "sc -osym.exe sym.cpp".

Do I need to make any #defines or set up the STL library before using it?

Thanks,

Tat

Your makefile is compiling a C++ program as if it were a C program. Try using -cpp, and remove the -Ju.

Hi Walter,

I added the -cpp flag and removed the -Ju flag from the compiler and got the following result:

The cast error now appears in a file that has not been modified and was successfully compiled previously without the -cpp flag. MESSAGE_EXCHANGE_ERROR is defined in another library's header file.

Is there a compiler switch to avoid making an explicit cast (I couldn't find one in the documentation)?

Or should I change the Makefile to only use the -cpp flag on files that have C++ code as the original app was written in pure C?


thanks,

Tat

You've run into a difference between C++ and C semantics. Just put the cast in, and it will compile with both C and C++. -Walter

Hi Walter,

I am now getting a different kind of error ... I assume it is to do with the different meanings of "static" in C and C++

I had a look at the code, and this is the first time the static variable clog is defined. It is pointing to another static variable, console_logid, which is of type "static logid_t".


Also, the 2 error warnings are because the function prototypes are meant to return static ints, but there is no explicit call to return any values.

whoops ... clog is defined in include/IOSTREAM.H as "extern ostream_withassign clog", so I have to change the declaration of clog in my code

I suggest it may be easier to port the code to C++ first, and afterwards try to mix in STL.
