[omniORB] problems building omniORB4 on Solaris with SC 4.2

Tue Dec 17 19:55:02 2002

I think that adding an outermost const to a parameter type is explicitly
allowed in the function definition.  For example

void foo(int x);

void foo( const int x )
{
}

Should be OK.  I'm not suprised compilers don't complain.  I've used the
4.2 version of Sun's compiler and I don't think it ever complained about
such things either.  I just tried the 5.3 version in -compat=4 mode and it
didn't complain.  I seem to recall an old old version of MSVC++ did not
like it though.

I assume you meant the "-g" is there to work around a version _5_ compiler
bug?

How peculiar. I wonder why other compilers allow it. I'll fix that
before 4.0.1.

Do you really need the -g?  That is there to work-around a bug in the
version 4 compiler, so it shouldn't be needed on version 4. I'll put
the other things in (and the -g too if it's really required).

Thanks for reporting these things.
