Perhaps you could try convincing the GCC folks to
actually properly support declspec_align like MSVC does, instead of claiming to support
it, but actually ignoring it. Then you could also convince them to support SEH, PDBs,
STDCALL-default calling convention, etc ;)
stdcall default can be by altering spec file. If mingw/cygwin don't
update there spec file in gcc that is there problem. As well there is a
flag to make stdcall default |-mrtd. Little bit of a confusing name.
Yes its provided for some strange reason mingw and cygwin don't use it.
Windows is not the only OS with stdcall default. Some unix's its also
default nothing that strange other than mingw/cygwin not using it. If
in time rosbe becomes its own complier in gcc with its own spec file
there is not reason why reactos cannot have it. Its the maintainers of
mingw/cygwin that have set the defaults without it. So over the stdcall
one either get up mingw/cygwin ribs or request rosbe gets a spec file of
its own in gcc with reactos preferred settings.|
SEH this years summer of code. Yes they are listerning.
declspec_align is known to be borked it even causes problems in embeded
development. It was ment to be fixed in 4.1.2. If not 4.2.0 and 4.1.3
should have it fixed. They have been working on it. Not exactly
simple to fix correctly without over using memory.
PDB feel like writing a internal spec on it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_database Microsoft has not given
anyone the spec on it.
Please point blame at right locations.
