| Description | MPS expgen.sh is the easy way to maintain the list of MPS exports for the DLL build. Expgen.sh used to work on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) with gcc 3.x. It seems broken on Mac OS X 10.4.2 with gcc 4.0. |
| Analysis | RHSK 2005-10-17 It appears gcc 4.0 from Apple may be broken with respect to -fdump-translation-unit. See step (0) of the procedure comment, at line 31 of: < http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/master/code/expgen.sh#2>. See also Evidence [1].Without a working expgen.sh, we need to maintain w3gen.def manually. But it doesn't change very fast. Perhaps we could run expgen.sh on a different Unix? Perhaps Apple broke gcc and should be told? |
