Uzem on newer gccs

Post by nebososo »

GCC 6 uses c++14 as default and uzem fails to compile as it's written in c++98:

Code: Select all

g++ -c gdbserver.cpp -o Debug/gdbserver.o -I/usr/include/SDL2 -D_REENTRANT -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -DGUI=1 -DJOY_ANALOG_DEADZONE=8192 -g -MD -MP -MF Debug/gdbserver.d -DUSE_SPI_DEBUG=1 -DUSE_EEPROM_DEBUG=1 -DUSE_GDBSERVER_DEBUG=1
In file included from gdbserver.cpp:36:0:

     gdb_debug("Sending position [signo:%i]\n",signo);
     ^~~~~~~~~
Setting -std=gnu++98 allows it to build.
My question is: should we make uzem c++14 conformant or just set -std in the Makefile?

For now I think "-std=gnu++98" is the way to go, it is a proper long-term solution until someone wants to look into that thing. (I tried, this is the code necessary to support gdb, so I briefly looked over it regarding CUzeBox, and determined that gdb just won't happen for that emu in the near future. Although there the case is more complicated as I need to implement gdb support in C, so the heavily C++ code is even less useful for me).

I created a pull request for the simple change.
Funny that both emulators are important and useful right now :ugeek: .

Oh, it is an easy fix to make that C++14 compatible.

Edit: This is the change that makes it C++14 compatible:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/tools/uzem/gdbserver.h b/tools/uzem/gdbserver.h
index 1b80f3f..76e1e89 100644
--- a/tools/uzem/gdbserver.h
+++ b/tools/uzem/gdbserver.h

 #define GET_BIG_ENDIAN16(byte1,byte2)          ((byte2 << 8) | byte1)
 
 #ifdef USE_GDBSERVER_DEBUG
-       #define gdb_debug(fmt,...)      fprintf(stderr,"[GDB] "fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
+       #define gdb_debug(fmt,...)      fprintf(stderr,"[GDB] "/**/fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
 #else
        #define gdb_debug(fmt,...)
 #endif
Edit 2: I merged the changes that make it C++14 (and backwards) compatible. The issue was with the C++14 tokenizer, so I inserted an empty comment between the string literal and the macro argument, so it will work with either the old tokenizer, or the C++14 tokenizer.
