gcc3.2 and the new ABI
Hey, I got to looking at changing the code last night to compile with gcc 3.2. The main issue is that the new ABI has changed to make it multi-vendor portable, and conform to the new ISO C++ standards. Older gcc's let you get away with alot, the new one doesnt. Before I start doing anything, I want to know a couple of things.
1) Can I count on a developer to roll these changes into the code baseline once I get them in and test them against both the windows and linux versions? If no one will step up to the plate and say yes to this, Im not going to bother doing anything, I dont want to have to recreate it with every release.
2) If anyone knows anything about the way the new ABI expects the templates to be created, mostly it appears to be template/namespace issues with the 3.2 compiles. A gcc2.9x to 3.2 porting manual would be great, I'm not sure what the new standards are yet.
3) If anyone else has started working on it, then I can coordinate with someone else on the fixes.
