[toolbox-l] RE: Compile errors from GCC tools for AIX (aix43-000718)

[Mike A. <mi...@wr...>]

Sorry to repost a message, but I'm hoping someone can answer my questions.
I've got code that builds with GCC 2.95.2 on Solaris and Linux.  I get
compile errors with the GCC compiler in the AIX toolkit.  Here are my
questions:

1.  Is the compiler in the toolkit non-standard?  Does it contain fixes for
AIX that are not part of a standard GCC release?

2.  What level of GCC is it based on?  GCC -v returns "gcc version
2.9-aix43-000718".

Thanks!
Mike Allen

Greetings,

I just installed the GCC tools for AIX (aix43-000718).  I'm trying to
compile code that builds OK with GCC 2.95.2 on Solaris and Linux.  I'm
getting the following warnings:

In file included from atmemmgr.cpp:37:
/usr/include/pthread.h:113: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER'
/usr/include/pthread.h:128: warning: missing white space after `#define

PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER'
/usr/include/pthread.h:157: warning: missing white space after `#define
PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT'


Here is the header from the pthread.h file:

/* static char sccsid[] = "@(#)15       1.32.2.32
src/bos/usr/ccs/lib/libpthreads/pthread.h,           libpth, bos43R 11/24/99
12:02:08"; */

 */




I edited the pthread.h file to add white space to the indicated lines so
that I could go further.  Then I hit this warning:

atmemmgr.cpp:1368: warning: format not a string literal, argument types not
checked

Here is the offending line from the source:

  fprintf(stderr,szBuf);

Again, this compiles fine with gcc 2.95.2 on Linux.  There doesn't seem to
be any way to turn off this warning.




What level is the compiler in this package?  Here is what I get from gcc -v

Reading specs from
/usr/gcc/aix43-000718/H-powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ib
m-aix4.3.3.0/2.9-aix43-000718/specs
gcc version 2.9-aix43-000718


Thanks,
