Notes for C++ Developers

Changing the C++ Compiler Used with CPPDriver

The CPPDriver and Service bridge libraries are built for nearly all standard compilers used on Windows and Linux. You must link your client application and/or Service implementation with the appropriate libraries for the compiler.

You must also run any C++ Services against the proper C++ bridge libraries. This is done using Grid Libraries, in that any C++ Grid Library must include the proper bridge Grid Library as a dependency These libraries come already deployed in the DS_DATA/deploy/resources/gridlib directory.

Also, because different Linux releases support different compilers which use incompatible versions of the STL, the GCC Version property in the Engine Configuration dictates which compiler version of the bridge is supported by the Engine.

You can run Linux C++ Services built against unsupported STL implementations, using an Engine built with no STL conflicts. To use this:

1.

Download the Engine installation, and locate the invokeGCC file.

2.

Make a copy of invokeGCC, called invokeGCC34.

3.

Replace this file in the appropriate engineUpdate subdirectory on your Managers.
