I have upgraded (again!) to the latest bug-fix release of cxx 6.5,
cxx-6.5-026.
I have managed to get as far as src/support/filetools.C, but now have this:
cxx: Error: ../../../devel/src/support/filetools.C, line 1281: #282 the global
scope has no "popen"
FILE * inf = ::popen(cmd.c_str(), os::read_mode());
-----------------------^
cxx: Error: ../../../devel/src/support/filetools.C, line 1293: #20 identifier
"pclose" is undefined
int const pret = pclose(inf);
-------------------------^
This time, I have NOT modified the c++ wrapper files to the c-library
routines. Looking at the g++-v3-3.1 version of <cstdio>, I have concluded
that the Compaq version of the same file should be written something like:
extern "C" {
+ extern FILE *popen(const char *, const char *);
+ extern int pclose(FILE *);
namespace std {
extern int fclose (FILE *);
}
}
Currently, it does not declare those routines that are not moved into
namespace std.
Is this conclusion correct? Input from those with greater understanding of
the standard would be appreciated.

ps. Jean-Marc, I posted my bug report for cxx-6.5-021 to comp.unix.tru64 as
you suggested but have had no reply. Is this the news group you meant?
