[Corelinux-develop] conclusions of the previous g++ related threads

[Christophe Prud'h. <pru...@MI...>]

Ok let's have a short description of what happened:

- g++ 2.96 is more c++ compliant and find a lot more erronous code
  * in you throw an exception in a member function of a class 
    be careful with its signature in any subclasses that is don't forget to   
    write throw(exceptxxx)
  * g++ is even more restrictive also for type correctness
    2.95 let int (*) (ThreadContext*) converted automatically to int (*)      
    (void*) without explicit casting
    2.96 doesn't allow it without an explicit cast
    solution: 
     typedef int (* CloneFunctionType)(void *);

     CloneFunctionType(ThreadContext::cloneFrameFunction)

    in Thread.cpp
   * friend foo is wrong 
      friend class foo is correct

All those changes have been done (plus the cpp one with ##) in my corelinux 
copy.
I need to create some defects for this but also for the new libcorelinux-dbg
packages(I didn't create it for redhat yet) and the changes for the macros 
arguments (mentionned a while ago now)

when is the next release ?
will we release also the first clfw ?

regards
C.
