D:Compiler specifics

This appendix contains the compiler information database which is used by the automatic code extraction program ExtractCode.cpp to build makefiles that will work properly with the various compilers.

The explanation for this database format is found in the description of ExtractCode.cpp in Chapter XX. The information about files that won’t compile, along with the data for commercial compilers, is removed from the published version, and only the online version at http://www.BruceEckel.com (along with the source code file at that location) will contain that data (since it will be subject to change as new compilers are added and as bugs are removed).

#: :CompileDB.txt
# Compiler information listings for Thinking in 
# C++ 2nd Edition By Bruce Eckel. See copyright 
# notice in Copyright.txt.
# This is used by ExtractCode.cpp to generate the
# makefiles for the book, including the command-
# line flags for each vendor's compiler and 
# linker. Following that are the code listings 
# from the book that will not compile for each 
# compiler. The listings are, to the best of my 
# knowledge, correct Standard C++ (According to 
# the Final Draft International Standard). Please
# note that the tests were performed with the 
# most recent compiler that I had at the time, 
# and may have changed since this file was 
# created.
# After ExtractCode.cpp creates the makefiles
# for each chapter subdirectory, you can say 
# "make egcs", for example, and all the programs
# that will successfully compile with egcs will
# be built.

# Compiling all files, for a (theoretical) fully-
# conformant compiler. This assumes a typical
# compiler under dos:
{ all }
# Object file name extension in parentheses:
(obj)
# Executable file extension in square brackets:
[exe]
# The leading '&' is for special directives. The
# dos directive means to replace '/' 
# with '\' in all directory paths:
&dos
# The following lines will be inserted directly
# into the makefile (sans the leading '@' sign)
# If your environment variables are set to 
# establish these you won't need to use arguments
# on the make command line to set them:
# CPP: the name of your C++ compiler
# CPPFLAGS: Compilation flags for your compiler
# OFLAG: flag to give the final executable name
#@CPP = yourcompiler
#@CPPFLAGS =
#@OFLAG = -e
@.SUFFIXES : .obj .cpp .c
@.cpp.obj :
@   $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) -c $<
@.c.obj :
@   $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) -c $<
# Assumes all files will compile
# See later for an example of Unix configuration
