I'm looking at the Linux distro Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper), a Debian derivative,
which uses
gcc/g++ 4.03. I see that gcc does not recognize the .cc extension
as a C++ file, that is
gcc foo.cc
fails with errors. The man page for gcc says it should recognize .cc
files as being c++ and handle them accordingly.
foo.cc is the simple C++ program
//########################
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World! \n";
}
//###############################
The gcc man page also says that the -x <lang> option should force
a language front end, i.e, 'gcc -x c++' should force the c++ front end.
That's not working either.
Is this behavior a policy change with the gcc version 4 collection,
or should I be looking to the Debian or Ubuntu development
teams for answers? This looks to me like a build policy decision
(building gcc w/o c++ recognition support).
works fine here..the same program with
gcc/g++ version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) on a x86/Pentium 4
these three command lines are fine
g++ too.cc -o too
gcc -x c++ -lstdc++ too.cc -o too
gcc -lstdc++ too.cc -o too
HTH
