I have now got STLport 4.5.3 working (except for STLport's rope extension)
with the latest DM C++ beta (8.29.17).

Best of all, I even got the library part (iostreams, ...) working (but it's
mostly untested).

Don't worry, I will release all my changes real soon now - I just have to clean it up a bit...


Many thanks to Walter for the great support!

(Tracking down and reporting bugs is really much more fun when you know that
they will be fixed soon)

 Due to phone line problems, I lost my net connectivity for some time.
Seems like Walter has given a terrific lesson in counting :-)

Thanks! Walter.

btw, can anyone point me to the latest OMF spec ? I'm working on a little omf2elf converter.

cheers,

Ok, I put up 8.29.18 which should fix the rope error.

Don't know if it's the latest spec, but here is one: http://x86.ddj.com/intel.doc/tools.htm

I have uploaded the diff against STLport 4.5.3 to http://cmeerw.org/files/dm/STLport-4.5.3-dm.diff

For those who aren't familiar with these diffs:

- get http://www.stlport.org/archive/STLport-4.5.3.tar.gz (or
  http://www.stlport.org/archive/STLport-4.5.3.zip)

- unpack STLport
- cd STLport-4.5.3
- patch -sp1 <..\STLport-4.5.3-dm.diff

(I have also uploaded a Win32 patch.exe (from
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net) to http://cmeerw.org/files/dm/patch.exe)


The STL part should now work fine with the latest DM beta (8.29.18).


The library part (iostreams, ...) compiles (comment out the
_STLP_NO_NEW_IOSTREAMS define in stlport/config/stl_dm.h and see
stlport/src/dm.mak) and can be used if you statically link your program with
the .obj files (but don't link with complex_trig.obj)

Building a static library doesn't work because of symbol length limitations in DM's Librarian (Assertion failure: 'len <= IDMAX' on line 129 in file 'libin.cpp')

Building a DLL works, but a dynamically linked program crashes somewhere during initialization.


bye, Christof

PS: I am currently using a few nasty tricks in the STLport configuration (stlport/config/stl_dm.h) to make it work with a minimum of changes...

I used to have a patched version of LIB.exe that solved that problem. LIB.exe indeed keeps a very short limit on symbol name lengths.

I guess one of the problems is that I haven't used __declspec(dllimport).
But using __declspec(dllimport) seems to sometimes confuse DM. Here is a
test-case:

struct __declspec(dllimport) A
{
  int f() const;
  int f(int);
};

int main()
{
  {
    typedef int (A::*f_ptr_t)(int);
    f_ptr_t f = &A::f;
    // Error: need explicit cast to convert
    // from: int ( A::*__import member func)()const *
    // to  : int ( A::*member func)(int )
  }

  return 0;
}


I have now got a simple "std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;" program working (dynamically linked with STLport)

This is fantastic! Great work!

I have slightly updated the patch and added some description at http://cmeerw.org/prog/dm/

Christof, I'm unable to compile the library. Make dies in c_locale.cpp. Are there any other changes other than commenting out _STLP_NO_NEW_IOSTREAMS define in /config/stl_dm.h ?
