RE: [ace-users] Porting ACE to Interix (Microsoft Services For Unix)

[Frare, Steven A (Steven)]

Hi Johnny (and all):

I wanted to let you know my link problems was solved by adding the -frepo to CC flags as outlined in the G++ notes for ACE. Somehow I thought wrapper_macros.GNU would do that for me however I was mistaken!

All builds clean now (a couple of warnings about an if check that will always be false, should I forward those to the list?)

Next, on to the tests!

Thanks!
Steve

Hi Johnny:

I will upgrade ACE / TAO ASAP. I have already gone through the config-cygwin32.h file with a fine tooth comb, but after the upgrade maybe I am in for a few surprises!!

Thanks for the pointers!

Hi,

> I did add the PRF...

Yes, at the end, please start with it always.

> Don't know if SRU is stable...

Use the x.4.2 release, the 1.3a version is really different than this x.4.2.
Probably a lot of issues are solved because Cygwin/MinGW support also
improved and I think this will help you with the Interix port

Look at the config-cygwin32.h file, that is also GCC. We are doing at this
moment already several ports, but our time is limited without sponsoring.

Maybe add repo=1 to the platform file you are making, then it should be done
automatically, but I have to say I find this strange. Implicit templates
should work also.

Yes, please send unified diffs with some background info, then we can have a
look and commit if we agree.

Hi Johnny:

The warnings are generated not from code changes I made but simply exist (at least on this Interix platform....)

Here is the compiler output, I upgraded ACE / TAO as you suggested and am using ACE-5.4+TAO-1.4 now.

% make static_libs_only=1
SOCK_Dgram.cpp: In member function `ssize_t ACE_SOCK_Dgram::send(const iovec*,
int, const ACE_Addr&, int) const':
SOCK_Dgram.cpp:332: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always
false
SOCK_Dgram.cpp: In member function `ssize_t ACE_SOCK_Dgram::recv(iovec*, int,
ACE_Addr&, int) const':
SOCK_Dgram.cpp:381: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always
false

I did make changes to three files, Sock_Connect.cpp, Sock_Dgram.cpp (but not in the above methods) and SOCK_Dgram_Bcast.cpp. Once I get the tests working and passed I will diff the changes and send them out to you for review.

Thanks Again!
Steve
