Response file issue with a badly behaving compiler.

Added by John Brandwood over 2 years ago

One particular compiler that I use has a problem parsing the last item in a response file because there is no delimiting space between the last item and the EOF.

Here's a one-line patch to include a final " " character at the end of the response file.

I've tested this patch with 5 different compilers and it fixes the problem that I'm having without causing any trouble with the other compilers.

Please consider this for JamPlus 0.4

Thanks,

John

If it is for one specific compiler, should we look into modifying only the C.CC and C.C++ actions directly?

For instance:

actions updated response C.CC
{
    PATH=$(MSVCNT_BIN_PATH);%PATH%
    SET INCLUDE=$(C.STDHDRS:\\J=;)
    "$(C.CC:\\)" /nologo @@($(MFLAGS) "$(>)" )   <--- Note the extra space.
}

Whoops, my mistake.

I thought that I'd already tried that solution without success, but I must have been thinking of my attempts to embed CR/LF sequences into the response file.

Adding the space in the action does in fact work perfectly, and is much better than messing with Jam itself.

Thanks,

John
