Compiling 5.10.00c on SunOS59 with SunWS9

ROOT

Hi,

compiling 5.10.00c on a SunOS59 machine with the Sun workshop 9 compiler I get some
compile errors:

CC -O -KPIC -I/usr/openwin/include -ptr -Iinclude -mt -o matrix/src/TMatrixTBase.o -c matrix/src/TMatrixTBase.cxx
CC: Warning: Warning: no directory is given for -ptr, using default
"matrix/src/TMatrixTBase.cxx", line 1098: Error: Default arguments cannot be added in later declarations of the template function in the same scope.
“matrix/src/TMatrixTBase.cxx”, line 1142: Error: Default arguments cannot be added in later declarations of the template function in the same scope.
2 Error(s) detected.

Looking to the .h and the .cxx file of TMatrixTBase I don’t see what is wrong here. The
template in the header file has the same argument list as the corresponding function in
TMatrixTBase.

Does somebody has an idea?

Thanks,
Matthias

I do not have access to Solaris10, only Solaris9 where I cannot reproduce tthis problem.

Hi Rene,

it was on SunOS9:
(Wed 9:04) steinke@bldsol08 $ uname -r -s
SunOS 5.9

mmh, is that the same as Solaris10? On SunOS58 things worked w/o problem.
Which compiler did you use on Solaris9? For me it was …/sunworkshop/9/SUNWspro/bin/CC.

Hi Matthias,

I use

code [129] CC -V
CC: Sun C++ 5.5 2003/03/12
[/code]

on SUNWSpro8

Hi Rene,

yeah, that makes the difference.

(Wed 9:07) steinke@bldsol08 $ CC -V

I’ll check whether we have installed a 5.5 compiler, and if it works to compile ROOT
with 5.5 and link with the rest of our code that was compiled with 5.6.

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Rene,

the compile error with the studio9 compiler comes form a default value for a templated
argument: In TMatrixTBase.h there is f.e.

template Bool_t VerifyMatrixValue (const TMatrixTBase &m,Element val, Int_t verbose=1,Element maxDevAllow=0.0);

If I remove the default values for verbose and maxDevAllow here and
in the next declaration, I can compile TMatrixTBase and I run into the same problem with
TVectorT.h.

With a first grep I found two places inside the ROOT sources which make use of the
templated default value. Would it make sense to change that and to remove templated
default values?
