Q3) Why is there C++ in my libppl? Have I done something wrong to get it

At the end of stage 1, I can work around the problem by manually running
the final link command, but using the (native compiler's) g++ driver instead
of the plain gcc driver, or by manually adding -lstdc++. But I can't do
anything like that to get past the link failure at the end of stage 2; we're
not using the native compiler any more but the stage 1 compiler and so we've
only got a crude xgcc that doesn't understand "-x c++", and of course target
libstdc++ hasn't been built yet. Something's really wrong here - I can't
understand why there's C++ involved or how it could work. Maybe the default
configure options of PPL have changed to include some C++ interface that
wasn't built by default at the time the wiki page was written?
Anyway, TIA for any enlightenment anyone can provide. I could file PRs or
patches for the first two bugs if desired,
I would highly appreciate this.
but the third part has me totally confused, I don't know what to do
with it.
I'm forwarding this third question to the PPL folks, hoping that they
already dealt with similar cases and probably already have a solution.
Hi there,
I am not sure I understand the question (and I am not familiar with Cygwin).
The answer to the question "Why is there C++ in my libppl" is that libppl
is written in C++. The C interface to the PPL, libppl_c, is also written
in C++. Your description of the problem confuses me, as it seems to be
system-independent; however, I have no problems bootstrapping HEAD on my
GNU/Linux system. What am I missing?
All the best,
Roberto
