This is a pretty major upgrade from a compiler standards conformance
perspective. Be sure and upgrade to the new STLport DMC++ conversion, too.
(Thanks Christof!)

Boost is next.

Enjoy,

When time permits update the chart.

A link to this chart on DMC home might be nice.

For comparative purposes a column with the MSVC6sp5 compiler would be very good.
I imagine it fails most of these tests.

Walter the "utilities" package at

ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/Patch/dm812util.zip

should be revisited to mesh with the new 8.32 distro.



Most of DMC's archives are fabulous because I can just retain the directory
structure and let WinZip plop them onto C:\ .  The betas have worked nice that
way.

This particular utility set still has an older dm812 folder instead of just dm.
And lastly, th e"libunres.exe" should probably be deleted from the utils archive
since it is included with the main distro.  Otherwise I am overwriting a more up
to date version when I install the utils.

I wrote Walter not long ago and he thought it was a good idea to have 'user' or
'home' pages at www.digitalmars.com.

These pages would be accesable via:
http://www.digitalmars.com/users/

Serious users of Digital Mars products would be able to apply for their own page
like:
http://www.digitalmars.com/~jan/

Users would have private FTP access to their own page to publish their material.

I guess if anyone is interested let Walter (or me if that is OK with Walter)
know.

Given I just updated (CD install) my installation from 8.31 to 8.32(2),
and the 'smoke' test for the STL port already worked, I'm surprised I'm
now getting the following error msg:

C:\dm\stlport>sc hello.cpp -I\dm\stlport\stlport \dm\lib\stlp45dms.lib
-D_DLL
    cout << "Hello world\n";
          ^

    cout << "Hello world\n";
                           ^
hello.cpp(5) : Warning 6: value of expression is not used
--- errorlevel 1

C:\dm\stlport>


Also, if you do not consider a nit pick, may I suggest we change the
reference 'sc' to 'dmc'?

OK. So I believe we should change the example 'hello.cpp' file.

I changed it to have the 'std::' ahead cout and now it compiles OK. So
the new hello.cpp must be:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello world\n";
}

Another suggestion:

On the updated README.TXT there are instructions for the installation of
the STL libraries. In particular, the text says:

"...
which will build them into \dm\stlport\lib. To install them:

        xcopy \dm\stlport\lib\*.lib \dm\lib
        xcopy \dm\stlport\lib\*.dll \dm\dll
..."

Since the \dm\dll directory is not part of the common installation, we
arrive at a situation where a just compiled program which require any of
the DLLs (as for example compiling the hello.cpp w/-D_DLL) not running,
because the executable cannot find the DLLs.

I suggest we copy them to the \dm\bin subdir (which will be on the
developer's path) so it will be possible test the applications.

Of course, should you decide to distribute the application, you should
not forget to include the pertaining DLLs!
