Thanks a lot for your message! xlc and xlC are the IBM's compilers for c and c++ respectively. They do support several standards: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxpcomp/v8v101/index.jsp?topic=/co...
and sometimes are more nitpicking than gcc about the standards, as I believe it's happening here. I'll try to figure out (I am not fluent about C++ specs) and let you know.
Compiling with gcc is possible, but there will be several linking problems with other libraries that I eventually need to link together (gcc binaries are not-linkable with xlc binaries).
Thanks again ;Dav

Folks, I am trying to compile the latest PPL on bluefire, an IBM Power6 running AIX 5.3, with IBM's compiler xlc/xlC (http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/bluefire/be_quickstart.html#software)
Unfortunately, while the configure script is happy (see config.log for details), the compilation fails as described in the attached make.log and I have no clues about it.
Note that before it was failing with the following one, which I believe was due to a different make version being used, but might be the first culprit (I have the make.log for this too but I'm not sending it right now):
/usr/bin/sed -f ./ppl-config.sed >ppl-config.h "../ppl-config.h", line 1.0: 1540-0809 (W) The source file is empty.
Do you have any recommendations about what I can do to fix the issue?
Hi Davide,
looking at config.log, I gather you are using C and C++ compilers called xlc and xlC, respectively. We never compiled the PPL using those, but this should not be a problem as long as they implement a large enough fragment of the C and C++ standards.
Looking at make.log, I see something strange is happening. The first errors, that is,
"Row.defs.hh", line 88.46: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Row_Impl_Handler" is unexpected. "Linear_Row.defs.hh", line 124.52: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Row" is unexpected. "Linear_Expression.defs.hh", line 236.60: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Linear_Row" is unexpected. "Linear_System.defs.hh", line 54.55: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Matrix" is unexpected. "Constraint_System.defs.hh", line 127.60: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Linear_System" is unexpected. "Constraint.defs.hh", line 260.53: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Linear_Row" is unexpected. "Congruence_System.defs.hh", line 120.60: 1540-0063 (S) The text "Matrix" is unexpected.
would be explained if you were including some funny header file doing
#define private #define public
I know, this is crazy, but how else could the text "Row_Impl_Handler" be unexpected in the lines
class Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Row : private Row_Impl_Handler {
and
class Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Linear_Row : public Row {
?
Do you have the option of compiling with GCC 4.0.3 or later version? Otherwise, please use the -E option of your compiler to inspect the preprocessor output, and check how the two lines above are transformed.
PS: I speak Italian, but I'm not sure if this list is read just by Italian, despite its .it domain.
This is an English-language mailing list indeed. All the best,
Roberto
