David Despite all these wonderful improvements, you have still notaddressed the fact that you have broken the useof Boost with the 10.2 Tokyo release. Because you have linked the pre-built Boost libraries to the memory manager for Berlin, lots of nas

DavidI'm astounded at your answer! "We're working on it" months after a reproducible bug report has been submitted to you. This is basic software engineering - do not build your libraries with the meomory manager from the previous release. Surely you

DavidWhen are you going to fix the problem with the shipping Boost libraries? As supplied with Tokyo, they CANNOT be used. See RSP-18123 (which still remains unresolved).When major flaws like this go unresolved for a long time, existing customers los

Andrew Bond created a new topic ' How to detect CLANG compiler flags at compile time' in the forum. 6 years ago

I currently use the following pragmas to detect - at compile time - the compiler flags my projects pass to the bcc32 (i.e. Borland) compiler:

#pragma defineonoption INTEGERSIZEDENUMSOFF -bi-#if !defined(INTEGERSIZEDENUMSOFF)#error Integer-sized enums option is not OFF (-bi-) (Options > C++ Compiler > General >Integer-size enums)#endif

This allows me to ensure that all my DLLs (over 20) have the same project settings as my app (in this case, the flag -bi- which turns Interger-sized enums off).
The equivalent compiler flag for the bcc32c (i.e. CLANG) compiler is -fshort-enums. But the following does not work with CLANG:
#pragma defineonoption INTEGERSIZEDENUMSON -short-enums#if defined(INTEGERSIZEDENUMSON)#error Integer-sized enums option is ON (-fshort-enums) (Options > C++ Compiler > General >Integer-size enums)#endif

since #pragma defineonoption is not recognized by CLANG.
Does anyone know of an equivalent pragma in CLANG to do what I want here?
Thanks in anticipation!

Andrew Bond created a new topic ' How to recompile Boost libs with different flags' in the forum. 6 years ago

(also posted to forums.embarcadero.com, where it has had no reply)
I understand that the Boost libraires that come with C++Builder have been built with the Integer-sized Enum flag set to OFF (i.e. BCC32 flag -bi-).
Can anyone confirm if this is true?
Since my DLLs, EXEs, and thrird-party packages are all compiled with default settings (Integer-sized Enum flag set to ON, i.e. BCC32 flag -bi), I need to recompile the supplied Boost libraries with that flag changed.
Does anyone know the best way to do this?
I cannot find a way to change the default setting for this flag in ALL projects.
I am using C++Builder 10.1 Berlin.
Thanks in anticipation.

PS This would also be helpful to ovecome a problem with the C++Builder 10.2 Tokyo supplied Boost libraires, which have been compiled (by Embarcadero) with the Memory Manager from Berlin not Tokyo! See QC Report RSP-18123

DavidWhen will the toolchain be fixe to allow Boost to be used with Tokyo? This is a MAJOR bug, making it impossible for us to upgrade to Tokyo since we rely on boost.Please see RSP-18123 (which remains unresolved).The proble is that the pre-packaged

David You were asking for the bug report concerning dupliacte tags being added to project files. Here are some reports about this:RSP-9774 closed as fixed (duplicate) - but I can confirm it is NOT fixed in C++Builder 10.1 Berlin RSP-12577 still open

David, I am porting a large app from C++Builder 10.1 Berlin to 10.2 Tokyo. Under Berlin I used the linker flag -GHtds=0x0f400000 to overcome the out-of-memory problem.Can you confirm that the equivalent option under Tokyo is "TDS Hep Size" under "Lin

Andrew Bond created a new topic ' sigC++ signals library w/ C++Builder 10.1 Berlin?' in the forum. 6 years ago

Has anyone managed to get the sigC++ signals library to work with C++Builder 10.1 Berlin (Update 2)?
I am using the 32-bit CLANG compiler and I am getting the following error message in slot.h:

[C++ Error] slot.h(136, 35): use 'template' keyword to treat 'operator ()' as a dependent template name
I am also unsure how to setup the sigc++config.h file for CLANG.
If anyone can help, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks

Andrew Bond created a new topic ' Access violation when program raises an exception' in the forum. 7 years ago

I am using C++Builder 10 Seattle to develop a 32 bit program with the CLANG compiler.
When I run the program and it raises an exception, I get the following Debugger Exception Notification:

Project Registrar3.exe raised excpetion class $C00000005 with message 'access violation at 0x32209c14: read of adress 0x174eb7fc'
I get the same message no matter where the exception is raised.
Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of this?
Thanks in anticipation.
