mbstate_t bug still around

["Peter J. Stieber" <developer at toyon dot com>]

I'm using cygwin v1.3.15 under Win2K

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 NAME 1.3.15(0.63/3/2) 2002-11-07 13:57 i686 unknown

My cygcheck.txt is attached.

I tried to compile the following simple code "Sample.cpp"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <wchar.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout << "Hello world." << endl;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

using "g++ -v -Wall Sample.cpp" with the following result (sorry for the
ugly wrap-around):

I realize this has been discussed before and  Xavier Pianet had a fix that
was partially implemented (proper _BEGIN_STD_C and _END_STD_C added to
wchar.h and wctype.h), but the other changes he suggested for
/usr/include/c++/3.2/i686-pc-cygwin/bits/c++config.h seem like they might be
fixed by building gcc with different configure options. A reference to his
message follows:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg01933.html

I also notice Christopher Faylor mentioned a new cygwin release would be
needed to fix this

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg01505.html

and that release has fixed the wchar.h and wctype.h issues, but I still
think a newly configured gcc is needed.

It looks like the compiler was configured using (g++ -v):

Christopher, I would be willing to attempt another gcc 3.2-1 build, but what
option do I need to tell gcc about the existence of the wchar.h files etc.
that Xavier fixed by hand commenting the c++config.h file?

Is this the case, or do some headers really need manual modification?

Just trying to help,
Pete
