Fixes the 64-bit Linux problems reported in Pantheios, and removes assumptions about atomic integer operations on operating systems other than Mac OS-X and Windows.

Hopefully this is the last STLSoft beta. What should follow is a couple of release candidates - where issues of docs, examples, help, etc. - are dealt with. And then hopefully in a week or two, we can get this baby off the ground at last. (It's only been a year and a half ... ;-/ )

Note about asm/atomic.h:
This is from Fedora 6 release notes:

The <asm/atomic.h> and <asm/bitops.h> header files have been removed. These were not designed for use in userspace, and would fail to compile on some architectures while silently giving non-atomic behaviour on others. The C compiler provides its own atomic builtin functions that are suitable for use in userspace programs instead.

Well, they're gone now, so it shouldn't be a problem any more. That being said, if later on it becomes clear how to support for 32/64-bit Linux, that'd be cool.

Now, you haven't said whether you're now building Pantheios on your Linux 64? Is it all ok? Hope so, and then I can leave STLSoft/Pantheios alone for a few days, and finish book 2 (http://extendedstl.com/), and get on with book 3 (http://breakingupthemonolith.com/). ;-)

Thanks for that. It could be jolly useful down the track. ;-)

For some reason, I seem to have a mental block when it comes to searching out GCC-related stuff. ;-/

Oh well, at least we're out of the core, anyway. I've fixed that particular file- zip included.

I've put this onto the Pantheios bugs forum, as it's now nothing to do with STLSoft: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=141831&atid=750757. We should probably continue this on the pantheios-users mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=50485. I'm cc-ing this post to the mailing list.

Obviously I need to get a handle on using the SF compiler farm, but I just haven't had time yet. As a stop-gap, I'm adding the -Wp64 warning to a VC++ 7.1 makefile, and finding all the warnings for the moment. I made a whole lot of non-functional improvements to the Pantheios source base yesterday after the b22 distro was posted, so it won't hurt to do another release soon.

And if someone with 64-bit expertise (and access!) wanted to get their feet
dirty, that'd hardly be unwelcome ... ;-)

Hi,


 I downloaded Pantheios, and tried to used it. The docs say:

   /"... Just open the workspace file pantheios.vc6.dsw, located in the
   root directory (i.e. <PANTHEIOS-install-dir>), and select the
   Build-All option."/

I don't see any such file.

In fact the only dsw files in the distro are in the example and test dirs.


Please advise.


Also, it would be nice if it unpacked into its own dir. as Martin Moene suggested for STLSoft.


Thanks,
Adi

Eeep!

I'm surprised that it's not there. I'll look into it.

FYI: a better way is the command-line build. That's the way I think most/all users are building it. Me included, which is why, I guess, the loss of the DSW has not been spotted.

As you probably know, the way to go is to open the appropriate DOS box (for WIndows, that is), and do a make, e.g. for VC++ 7.1, you'd open in $PANTHEIOS_ROOT/build/vc71, and type "make" or "make test"

> In fact the only dsw files in the distro are in the example and test dirs.

I do intend to have project files there for the common IDEs: Borland, VS'98, VS.NET, Eclipse, but this is not high on the TODO. I've got to work out a way of automating it, as the last thing I want is to be in a position of manually updating all the sets.

> Please advise.

For the moment, go the command-line route. It works pretty well.

> Also, it would be nice if it unpacked into its own dir. as Martin Moene suggested for STLSoft.

Indeed. Hopefully the next version of both should do that. It's absolutely certain that the final (non-beta) releases will do so. (I've just got to work out how to drive WZUNZIP; my distro mechanism drives WZZIP, so it shouldn't be too hard. <g>)


There're a few changes that I could do with rolling out, so I'll try and do another beta tonight. (I'm just a bit book-busy at the moment, preparing the final draft of Extended STL v1. My simple tast is to try and chop it from 590 pages to ~400 ...)

Yes, I realized that there was a list only after I posted. Sorry.

I was just following the instructions O:-) .

Works. Thanks.
