[orbitcpp-list] orbitcpp tests PASSED with gcc3 (pre-release)

[Richard A. <ric...@ix...>]

I'm pleased to announce that orbitcpp-0.30 builds and passes all tests with
gcc3 pre-release 2001-02-18 (with minor changes).

Phil, I've attached the patches I had to make on orbitcpp-0.30.

The changes in orbitcpp_smartptr.hh, I'm not happy with. The
const_cast<>()s are a bit of a kludge and I'd like to get rid of them.

The real problem is the code generated to call members. Usually there's a
dynamic_cast<Something_var &>() which is passed to a member function. The
problem is that this dynamic_cast generates a temporary (r-value) and the
compiler (correctly) complains when constructing a Something_out from a
non-const r-value generated by the dynamic_cast.

We really need to create a local variable to hold the result of the
dynamic_cast in an l-value. That way the constructors in smartptr.hh don't
need to take const references and smartptr.hh doesn't need to be changed.

Sorry, but I don't know where to make these changes. Somewhere in
pass_skels.cc I suppose.


The changes to everything/client.cc and server.cc are necessary to make the
code standard compliant (trivial changes).


The mystery segfault problems have disappeared. Probably due to incorrect
ORBit library linkage before I got things configured OK.
