Got new toy
I’ve just got new toy tool. Since yesterday, I’m a happy owner of the most standards-conformant C++ compiler that ever existed – Comeau C/C++ from Comeau Computing.
I’ve successfully installed Comeau C/C++ 4.3.10.1 Beta compiler and libcomo36, accompanying Standard C++ Library, on 32-bit version of latest Ubuntu 9.04.
I’m going to use Comeau C/C++ for purposes like analysis and review of C++ source code I write or use, verification of code portability as well as for learning elements of C++ and experimenting. This is excellent compiler for learning C++ language. Among loads of features, one of the coolest is ability to give clear and informative error messages. This is very helpful while working with complex class and function templates.
bjam output in colours
Recently, I’ve been heavily using Boost Build and bjam utility for building GGL library tests on Linux, so I developed a small tool that makes it easier to visually recognize compilation output by printing bjam messages in colours.
The script is called colorbb and was inspired by colormake written by Bjarni R. Einarsson. Actually, I grabbed Bjarni’s two scripts written in Perl and Shell and adopted it to parse bjam output.
colorbb is a very simple utility and it likely needs to be improved to properly recognize all bjam messages. It’s available from my SVN repository at http://svn.devjavu.com/mloskot/scripts/colorbb/ personal Git repository at http://github.com/mloskot/.
