--- Comment #3 from Steffen Nurpmeso <steffen at sdaoden dot eu> ---
One more, and just to point that out. This code will in a not too distant
future see its 20th birthday (though not updated for long). It has been
developed on Linux and FreeBSD with the wonderful (me thinks) gcc:
* GCC (GNU-Compiler-Collection, www.gnu.org).
- Not supported at all before 2.95.0.
- 2.95.1 never tested.
- 2.95.2 and 2.95.3 compile the library without errors.
The problem with them is that they are not able to handle the
free-from template pointer-to-member (PTM),
as well as the EventListener PTM specialization of
SF::Sys::Misc::Sender correctly.
This is a no-go for further..
...
(Some of the tests in test/ will not compile, though.)
(Note: 2.95.2 has not been tested for a long time.
2.95.3 is part of the test-suite at the time of this writing
aka TAG 0.6.0.)
- 2.95.4 and above. Should work perfectly (since we take care
of its bugs).
Tested:
+ 2.95.4.
+ 3.0.4.
+ 3.3.3.
+ 3.4.2 (== buggy thing which doesn't like [unnamed] unions
and required me to perform a major rewrite! Grrr.).
Thank you very much, ladies!
I would program Java without it! (Guess that!!!)
And despite absolutely idiotic C++ "improvements" like obsoleting the "auto"
keyword and introducing override (yes) as a declaration suffix (no) that i had
to fix (we had override, as a macro that expanded to virtual) it compiles and
runs just perfectly, even using sysctl(2) and getdents(64)?(2) syscalls on
modern Linux. Yet only with clang, what a shame.
For me this is a gcc bug.
Ciao.
