/build/src/tdebase/kicker/applets/launcher/easyvector.h:90:5:
error: 'erase' was not declared in this scope, and no declarations were
found by argument-dependent lookup at the point of instantiation [-fpermissive]
Damn,
I got tdebase to build, but this is the first time I
had to use -fpermissive on the new code. Any idea why that suddenly became
required?
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.4/gcc/C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html:
-fpermissive
Downgrade some diagnostics about nonconformant code from errors to warnings. Thus, using
-fpermissive will allow some nonconforming code to compile.
Loosely interpreted: the gcc developers are anal?
Loosely interpreted: the original developers of that code were sloppy?
I suppose in the long run we all address these issues with a newer gcc. Eventually
we'll need a cheat sheet to help one another with appropriate corrections in the old
code base. Probably this summer when I tinker with the next likely Slackware release I get
to deal with the problems too. Or retire.
As I am moving along at a snail's pace learning C++, the latter option sounds
palatable. :)
