355.0. "GFLOAT shareable image with DECwindows ?" by CSC32::S_HALL (Gimme a DEC PC & a bear with a radio) Wed Mar 08 1989 10:39
Is it verboten to use GFLOAT numbers with C when using
DECwindows ?
A customer compiled his program CC/G_FLOAT program, and when
he tried to link (options file below), he got multiply defined
symbols in VAXCRTL...
The options file looked like:
SYS$SHARE:VAXCRTLG/SHARE
SYS$SHARE:DECW$DWTLIBSHR/SHARE
If the reference to the DECW$ shareable image is left out,
the compilation goes fine.
Error occurs on VMS V5.1 , C V3.0 and C V2.4.
Thanks,
Steve H

| Yup, that's a restriction. Should be lifted when a future VAX C RTL with
D and G float compatibility ships.

re: .1
thanks for the reply, Paul.
I subsequently have been directed to the Xlib Routines Manual
in the DECwindows Programming doc set.
Page 1-3 says:
"Xlib should not be used by VAX C language programs that have been
compiled with the /G_FLOAT qualifier. Xlib has been compiled with
the default /D_FLOAT qualifier and should not be intermixed with
VAX C /G_FLOAT modules."
I posted the above so that other folks that might run into this
one and check this Notes file might find it of value.
