Compiling aCC code using CC

[Vishal Augustine]

Hi,

As a part of aCC compiler migration, the code which we had were made aCC compliant. The same code we use in Solaris and we have to compile the code using CC. So the task of compiling an aCC code with CC. Eventhough the scenario mentioned here is that for Solaris, the whole idea is to compile the aCC code using CC and fool the compiler

Now the question.

1. Do we have an aCC compiler for Sun ? Is it a freeware ?

2. I thought of resolving the issue using some ifdef statements. e.g.

#ifdef __aCC
#include
#else
// Want help here. Want a wrapper for nothrow which
// will do nothing. Basically, the question is how to fool
// the compiler when it gets this statement ->
// int *i = new (nothrow) int[20];
#endif

If any one of you did something similar, can you please let me know

Thanks and Regard

Found out the way !!!!

Here it goes

---------------------------------------


#if defined(__YOUR_DEF) || defined(__sun)

const int nothrow = 0;

void * operator new(size_t _v_size, const int _v_dummy) throw() {
return (void *)(new char [size]);
}

#else

#include

#endif

---------------------------------------

Now you can
$ CC -D__YOUR_DEF file.cc

or in Solaris

$ CC file.cc


Thanks and Regards

Even

#define nothrow

will work in some compilers ;o)
