[GCC-XML] EXTERNAL: Re: error: unable to emulate 'TI'

[Davidson, Josh]

Brad,

Thanks that did clear up the error.  I did run into another oddity though, which I swear was working before.  When I attempt to run gccxml against a header file (courtesy of Py++), the gcc parser fails regardless if I'm using the MinGW or Cygwin build of gccxml.  Now, if I #include the header file in a simple C++ file, it works just fine.

I think this is because gccxml uses a GCC 4.2 parser internally that is
compiled for a 32-bit target.  It does not know how to handle the
__mode__(TI) attribute it sees in the MinGW header when preprocessed
for a 64-bit build.  I can produce the same error outside of gccxml
using just GCC for 32-bit MinGW:

  $ cat test.c
  typedef int int128 __attribute__ ((__mode__ (TI)));

  $ gcc --version
  gcc.exe (GCC) 4.5.2

  $ gcc -c test.c
  test.c:1:1: error: unable to emulate 'TI'

Since gccxml is interested only in the interface and not in the ABI
you may be able to work around the error by adding "-D__mode__(x)="
to the command line.  It works for the above error:

  $ gcc -c test.c "-D__mode__(x)="
