[orbitcpp-list] sequence support in CVS

[Phil D. <ph...@li...>]

Hi folks,

Good news:
I've just committed variable length sequence support to CVS. 

Bad news:
You need gcc-2.95.2 to compile it (or at least it's a requirement on my
redhat box)

The problem is that the sequence implementation requires a specialised
implementation of 'operator new' for the sequence template class. This
doesn't seem to work with older gcc and egcs versions. 

For those with redhat linux wanting to make the upgrade, I grabbed the
following rpms from the rawhide section on my local ftp.redhat.com
mirror:
gcc, gcc-c++, cpp, binutils, libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel. I also
installed libstdc++-compat (or something) so that existing c++ stuff
linked to old libraries still worked.

Cheers,

Phil.

BTW, Thanks to those who've submitted bugs - I'll fix them before doing
the next release. (I don't know who you are because the bug submit form
doesn't seem to have a field to identify you - I've just mailed the
sourceforge admin people about it)
