The following are half the files changed to compile R with C++.
These are the simple, safe changes that keep the stricter compiler happy.
Change variable new to _new, class to klass, this to This or _this, template to Template, not to Not.
Remove some duplicate routine declarations.
Modernize some K&R routine parameter definitions.
Make explicit the signature for some routine pointer types.
Declare mode in creating connection as a const char * const.
Correct some routine declarations.
Add a throw to some routine definitions if in C++ to match built-in definitions.
Made the Clinkage explicit for rwarnc, rexitc. Use enum labels/constants where necessary.
The goals of using g++ are
a) to use a stricter compiler to discover anomolies in our code,
b) be able to use g++ -fdump-translation-unit so that we can more readily
do code analysis on the routines, variables, expressions and at the very
least allow me to identify the use of global variables automatically
and propose refactoring strategies,
c) to explore the pros and cons of using an Object Oriented programming
language C++ as the base language to get extensibility at the system level
and take advantage of some higher-level language features such as exceptions. |
