does Inline::CPP recognize #import ?

[Xiao Yafeng]

I have to use #import to import typed library , but seems Inline::CPP
doesn't know this and complain many errors:

use Inline CPP=>Config=>
CC => 'cl.exe',
BUILD_NOISY => 1;
use Inline CPP=><<'EOF';
#import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\office11\mso.dll"
rename("DocumentProperties", "DocumentPropertiesXL") rename("RGB", "RBGXL")
#import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VBA\VBA6\vbe6ext.olb"
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\EXCEL.EXE"
rename("DialogBox", "DialogBoxXL") rename("RGB", "RBGXL")
rename("DocumentProperties", "DocumentPropertiesXL") rename("ReplaceText",
"ReplaceTextXL") rename("CopyFile", "CopyFileXL") no_dual_interfaces
using namespace std;

void test(){
printf("hello world\n");
}
EOF

test();

use Inline CPP=>Config=>
CC => 'cl.exe',
BUILD_NOISY => 1;

If you want to use cl.exe as a C++ compiler, you'll need to do
CC => 'cl /TP',

otherwise the source files will be treated as C files.

Was Inline::CPP originally installed using a different "CC" ?
If so, then it might cause problems if you decide to switch to cl.exe. (Or
it may not ... I don't know.)

If I wanted to switch to another compiler then, instead of using the 'CC'
config option, I would re-build and re-install Inline::CPP using that other
compiler. (But make sure you specify 'cl /TP' as the compiler.)
If you're using ActivePerl, you might just get away with that ... but if
you're running Strawberry Perl, then switching to a Microsoft compiler might
cause problems.

Note that this is Visual Studio complaining about its own cstdio file -
which also probably indicates that this C++ file (cstdio) is being parsed as
a C file.

Thanks for your helps, Rob!
I've tried to reinstall Inline::CPP with cl /TP but can't pass test. here
is the steps:

open a VS command prompt to be sure ENV settings is correct.
perl Makefile.PL
This will configure and build Inline::C++.
What default C++ compiler would you like to use? [cl -TP] cl /TP
What default libraries would you like to include? [MSVCIRT.LIB]

IIRC checking iostream.h is an old bug and fixed in new inline::CPP? or

BTW. I'm using active perl with MinGW.

Try the latest version of Inline-CPP. It will hopefully detect that
iostream.h is not present and set things up so that iostream is used
instead.

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your
Inline
CPP code. The command that failed was:
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe

The build directory was:
C:\_Inline\build\test_cpp_pl_06b1

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output
files.

Try the latest version of Inline-CPP. It will hopefully detect that
iostream.h is not present and set things up so that iostream is used
instead.

use strict;

use Inline CPP=>Config=>
CC => 'cl.exe /TP',

Bad advice from me.
Looks like the default is 'cl -TP -EHsc' (which should have been the default
suggested during the 'perl Makefile.PL' step, and which is what you should
use).
So try that instead.

It still might not work.

The main problem is that we don't seem to have an Inline::CPP expert who
also understands the C++ idiosyncracies of MS compilers.
(I fail to qualify on both counts - in fact I don't know C++ at all.)

If it's possible for you to test :
What happens if you try the same test script using an Inline::C and
Inline-CPP-0.39 that was built for a MinGW (gcc) compiler ?

I tried but apparently C compiler doesn't recognize some C++ only grammar:

test_cpp_pl_06b1.xs(5) : error C2773: #import and #using available only in
C++ c
ompiler
test_cpp_pl_06b1.xs(6) : error C2773: #import and #using available only in

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

Stop.

To me,
There seems be 2 ways to do:

1. compile a dll then call it from a Inline::C/CPP script

2. below is messages in buildlog of VS, maybe I can find something useful?

To me,
1. compile a dll then call it from a Inline::C/CPP script

If you want to call functions in the dll from your Inline::C/CPP script then
you'll also need to have an import lib for the dll.
Then you link to that import lib in the Inline config section with:

LIBS => '-LC:/location -lmylib',

(There may be other ways to do it, but that would be the simplest afaik.)
