Does the gcc compiler have a VC 6.0 C++ compilation mode (interfacing with classes over dll boundary)?

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to interface with C++ classes implemented
in a dll compiled by gcc.
This dll will be however accessed by a visual c++ compiled host (not
made by me).

Both implementations will share headers that define virtual c++ class
interfaces.

Is this possible? In other words, can the gcc compiler behave like the
Visual C++ compiler?
I know that by default the object memory mapping model differs for both
compilers.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bram Doornbos

Then How to access Native OS functionality ? Windows native calls are
quite different than that of unix. So even if you are able to map
memory model, native call issue is still there.

Thank you for your quick response, but I think you don't understand my
question.

I now use gcc to compile win32 binaries (using cygwin and mingw).
There are no native os calls to unix or linux involved here.

My question is about the difference in memory layout of C++ classes
between gcc and vc++ and if this can be made compatible by using any
compiler directive at the gcc side...

You might have better results by posting your question on gnu.c++.help.

Ok thank you...
I will repost my question there.

a) Please do not top-post.
b) Your question is off-topic here and belongs in a dedicated gcc forum.
c) Please the FAQ and the Welcome post for what is topical in this group.

GP gave the wrong group. Try gnu.g++.help. Note the "g++" as opposed
to "c++".

Doing an independent study with Dave Beazley this quarter, Atul Varma has written a C compiler on his own in Python. It generates annotated x86 assembly code from arbitrary C files. Quoting Atul's website: * The different stages of compilation are encapsulated in visitor classes, which (in my opinion) makes the code quite readable, and also made writing the compiler a lot easier. The yacc rules merely generate the abstract syntax...

Hi, We've recently upgraded our ASP.Net 1.1 web application to ASP.Net 2.0 (Web Application Project Model). One one of our staging web servers (W2K), we've started receiving the above error fairly frequently. It tends to happen soon after deploying (via xcopy) a new version of the site and then running iisreset, although sometimes it may happen anything up to 15 minutes after a new version has been deployed.

I must say i didn't expect this.

As a benchmark i took a bootstrap of the SmallEiffel Compiler (which has 38 files with around 100 kloc). The times i got were very reliable.

A quick question about how python parses a file into compiled bytecode. Does it parse the whole file into AST first and then compile the AST, or does it build and compile the AST on the fly as it reads expressions? (If the former case, why can't functions be called before their definitions?) Thanks, Jordan
