[wgcc-dev] wgcc critical update

[Duft M. <Mar...@sa...>]

hey everybody.
=20
there was a really bad, bad, bad malloc in all 2.0-pre.x versions, which
is fixed in wgcc-2.0-pre.3. there was one byte missing in the alloc,
which caused unpredictable behaviour (core dumps) when processing
command outputs.
=20
i.e. when cl.exe & co. didn't output anything, everything went ok ;o///
=20
if you use one of those versions, please upgrade, distfile is @
sourceforge as usual...

Additionally the libtool patch for 2.x is available now on sourceforge
too. There are a few tests that are now possible with wgcc 2.x, which
were impossible to get working with 1.x. This depends mostly on the new
export behaviour, which does NOT export variable from external libraries
anymore (i.e. each library linked in is private to the resulting binary
image, which is the best behaviour ;o))

some current test results with the sources currently on sourceforge are:

all the libtool mdemo tests still fail, because there is still a problem
with dlopen and static libraries, i.e. dlpreopening, because the libtool
generated symbols conflict with some assembler code that wgcc generates.
this will be the next thing to work on, so if there is a solution for
this, it should be available in a few days....
=20
for the hardcode test -> this is simply not possible on windows........
for the relink tests -> i have really no idea here yet......

the test results look pretty much better than in version 1.x, except
that in v1 building the mdemo tests went ok, so there seem to be more
fails and skips now, but thats really not true, because 1.x failed one
step later (i did much patching there...) ;o)
=20
that the f77 tests failed..... i think this is ok ;o) wgcc does not know
fortran, i forgot to disable those tests....
