Ok I just uploaded them:

ftp> pwd
Current remote directory: /pub/kenner/lc
ftp> dir
total 859
-rw-rw-rw-  1 ftp      nogroup     35637 Feb 21 11:29 libstdc++-2.8.0-2.8.1-980221.diff.gz
-rw-rw-rw-  1 ftp      nogroup    831533 Feb 21 11:30 libstdc++-2.8.1-980221.tar.gz

Tell us what you'll do with them.

libstdc++-2.8.1 - Ready for testing

[Manfred Hollstein]

I've created a new distribution which should be released with the next
gcc-2.8.1 release.

I took libstdc++-2.8.0 as the  basis, added the most important changes
from  the upcoming   egcs-1.0.2 release (mostly  fixes  for  glibc2 on
Linux), and added two new files (INSTALL and texinfo/lgpl.texinfo).

Diffs from libstdc++-2.8.0 are available; file info:

       34372 Feb 20 17:24 libstdc++-2.8.0-2.8.1-980220.diff.gz
      831351 Feb 20 17:35 libstdc++-2.8.1-980220.tar.gz

If you are interested, I'd like to upload them  onto an ftp server and
to invite you to test them before gcc-2.8.1 will  be released; if yes,
please tell me  what ftp server, directory  and user  account I should
use.

BTW, I  tested them on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 and sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4
without problems.

Thank you.

Manfred

Could you please wait for a while after we settle down on thread-safe
under glibc 2? Also it would be nice to have my libg++ patch to
configure/configure.in.

Thanks.

It's already in;-) Give me a note, when you're ready with glibc.

H.J., how many patches do you expect to get a `nearly final' libstdc++.
I just updated my CVS release tree and added your latest patches

Wed Jan 14 16:15:05 1998  H.J. Lu  (hjl@gnu.org)
			  Jason Merrill  <jason@yorick.cygnus.com>

	* ropeimpl.h: Check __STL_PTHREADS instead of _PTHREADS.
	* stl_alloc.h: Ditto.
	* stl_config.h: Ditto.
	* stl_rope.h: Ditto.

	* stl_config.h: include <_G_config.h> if __GNUG__ is defined.
	(__STL_PTHREADS): Defined if _PTHREADS is defined or
	__GLIBC__ >= 2.

to my new libstdc++-2.8.1-980221. Since this shouldn't be tested on
glibc2 systems only, I'd really prefer to upload them to Kenner's
ftp server real soon now (especially because I expect a rather lengthy
e-mail discussion afterwards - read the new INSTALL file and you will
see what I mean ;-).

What do you think?

Anyway, I'd like anybody who will be testing the stuff and finding
bugs, to send the info and (if you have) a patch to the gcc2 list.
I will then track the stuff and update the sources.

Thanks

Manfred

It should be very close. Does it work with "make check" for gcc 2.8.1?
libio/libstdc++ in egcs is fixed. I have sent 2 patches for egcs 1.0.2.
They should be included also if they aren't.

I have tested libstdc++ from the latest egcs 1.0.2 with gcc 2.8.1 on
linux/x86 libc5 and linux/x86 glibc 2. They are ok with my patches.
Here are the list of files I changed:

./configure
./configure.in
./libio/configure.in
./libio/tests/Makefile.in
./libio/tests/configure.in
./libstdc++/configure.in
./libstdc++/tests/configure.in

Good, just (Sun Feb 22 10:50:47 MET 1998) compared my CVS dir with the
one at Cygnus, no diffs - hence your changes should all be in the
libstdc++-2.8.1-980221 I uploaded yesterday to

< ftp://jim.ultra.nyu.edu/pub/kenner/lc >:

ftp> pwd
Current remote directory: /pub/kenner/lc

-rw-rw-rw-  1 ftp      nogroup    831533 Feb 21 11:30 libstdc++-2.8.1-980221.tar.gz

Give it a test.

Of course, they were not :-( Your patches for make check with gcc dir missing
were not in. I'm just uploading a new version libstdc++-2.8.1-980222 and will
delete yesterday's one. Sorry for the confusion.

There is a new libio patch for glibc 2.1 submitted for egcs. Ulrich
should know if it is correct.

The code is ok, it'll probably solve the problems of the moment.  But
we cannot ensure that glibc will not break it again if some more
changes are necessary.

I'm not sure if you consider this a bug, but g++/memory still contains
this comment:
// Note: auto_ptr is commented out in this release because the details
//  of the interface are still being discussed by the C++ standardization
//  committee.  It will be included once the iterface is finalized.

Because the standard is final now, would you accept the rather simples patches
to reenable a standard compliant auto_ptr?

To be honest, I'm not in the position to accept anything like this; as I
mentioned, most of my work was to get the stuff together, hack a little bit
around and offer that to you. But, you're right, since the standard is final,
if you have working patches perhaps we should give it a try.

If they are small enough, I guess we could even try for 2.8.1 ;-)

Post them! Thanks.
