The jikes Java compiler from IBM (written in c++) uses the .cpp
extension for source files. It compiles just fine under plain VC++,
but autoconf pukes out during the configure process.

It just dawned on me that a test case that fails under
autoconf and VC++ might be of some use to folks. So
here is the CVS info for the jikes compiler.

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/jikes

cvs login
paswsd anoncvs

cvs checkout jikes
