| Summary | 0000418: Borland 5.5.1, Templates/*.cxx files with '+' chars used in execs | ||||||||
| Description | CMake List: There seems to be a problem with Borland 5.5.1 and Templates/*.cxx files that have a '+' character in them that are directly linked into executables (as opposed to being used in libraries, which works fine). This situation happens in VXL/contrib/rpl/rrel/tests http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/vxl/vxl/contrib/rpl/rrel/tests/ [^] The CMakeLists.txt file: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/vxl/vxl/contrib/rpl/rrel/tests/CMakeLi [^] sts.txt?rev=1.12&view=markup The directory VXL/contrib/rpl/rrel/tests/Templates contains file vcl_vector+image_point_match-.cxx. If I rename that file to vcl_vectorimage_point_match-.cxx (dropping the '+') everything compiles fine. If the file is left as is, I get the errors below. Building executable C:\cygwin\home\wheeler\work_vxl\vxl_bld_bcc\contrib\rpl\rrel\tests\rrel_test _all.exe... Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland Fatal: Unable to open file 'VCL_VECTOR.OBJ' ** error 1 ** deleting C:\cygwin\home\wheeler\work_vxl\vxl_bld_bcc\contrib\rpl\rrel\tests\rrel_test _all.exe ** error 1 ** deleting default_target I know Borland will not allow '-' characters in directory names, so this does not surprise me too much. This is happening with CMake 1.8.2, installed with the Windows installer. The problem might become visible on the VXL Dashboard in the Continuous Borland build errors, but is not at this moment because of other errors. Thanks, Fred Wheeler | ||||||||

This seems to be a limitation of the Borland command line tools. When bcc32 is called to create an executable or shared library, it calls ilink32 behind the scenes. This internal call does not properly quote object file arguments with + in the name. To solve this problem, we will have to start creating executables and shared libraries by directly calling ilink32 with the proper options. |

Calling ilink32 directly to work-around this Borland bug will be a non-trivial change that cannot be done in a patch release. I'm changing this bug to the development branch and not 1.8. |

To work around this problem in VXL, we eliminated some Templates/vcl_*.cxx files that were not needed because explicit instantiation is not necessary for vcl anymore, and renamed a couple other Templates/*.cxx files, replacing the '+' with a 'X'. So, VXL now compiles fine with the Borland compiler and this bug is not a critical issue for VXL. |

Impossible to fix, the borland compiler can not handle the syntax. |

This is, believed or not, fixed.... |
