Peachy. http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/egcs_complain.html | Give Mike Stump credit for having the right attitude, even if he | doesn't have any power to enforce it: | | If this is the bug I think it is, H.J. Lu broke your code, and checked in: | | Wed Aug 27 01:24:25 1997 H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.ai.mit.edu) | | config/linux.h (DEFAULT_VTABLE_THUNKS): New. Defined as 1 if | USE_GNULIBC_1 is not defined. | | I knew it would break your code, and told him `Some users will | expect this testcase to work. The failure mode of this with | thunks is particularly bad as the this pointer will be wrong | at times, and that shift can cause all sorts of very hard to | figure out problems' (see message 1997-Aug/0668). | | My preference was for people to finish off the implementation | of thunks, and then if they are a codegen win, to default all | architectures over to thunks. | | > What does ANSI C++ standard say we should get? It mandates | > that the test work. | > | > Does this mean it will be fixed in egcs-1.1? | | Nope, not unless someone steps forward to fix it. People have | know about it for about a year, and it remains unfixed. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
