I've been eagerly waiting for this message. Great !

 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,

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)

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 ?

If you are using DM's MS-SDK headers, you also have to define STRICT to get
the library building (or get the latest patch from my site that should
include that change).

If that doesn't help please post the error message you are getting.

I have just posted the already patched and ready-to-rock STLport
incorporating your changes at www.digitalmars.com/dmc/dmcppDownload.html
