[Info-vax] C++ compilation problem

[Joukj]

Hi all,

During porting an opensourec package to OpenVMS I encountered a problem 
when compiling. What I do is not really standards: I try to create a 
single object library with both 32- and 64-variants of the routines. In 
many cases my procedure works and for this package I have no problems 
when using HP C++ V7.4-005 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4.

Problems occur when trying the same things using HP C++ V7.3-009 for 
OpenVMS Alpha V8.4. First of all I had to add /templ=all to the 
compilation in order to get all templates inside the object file and not 
in object in the [.CXX_REPOSITORY] directory. This to avoid clashes 
between the 32- and 64-bit variants. This caused many templates to 
appear "global" in many objects, so I modified [SYSLIB]CXXL$ANSI_DEF.TLB 
so that these template got the "inline" attribute
However now I encounterd a case where I do not find a way to get it 
"static/local" in the object file.


Full CXX command:
cxx/name=(as_is,short)/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/templ=all 
/define=("_READLINE=1","
HAS_IM_CONVERT=1","BLAS_NO_UNDERSCORE=1",       "__USE_STD_IOSTREAM=1") 
/warn=di
sable=(MAYLOSEDATA,NOTQUACOMPREDEC) 
/include=([],[-.Include],[--.SuiteSparse
_config],       [--.UMFPACK.Include],[--.AMD.Include],[-.Include], 
[--.CHOL
MOD.Include])/list/show=all/point=32/list/show=all Mongoose_Version.cpp


I get
%LIBRAR-E-DUPGLOBAL, global symbol CXXL$RWNLLRFQ13STD64BSCS26AVQ12 from

If I look in the source listing generated by the compiler the relevant 
part shows (note I put the "inline" there
      I1	  29800 // basic_string<...>::_RWnullref
      I1	  29801 #ifndef _RWSTD_NO_STATIC_DEF3
      I1	  29802   template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator >


                                 Source Listing

      I1	  29803   inline const _TYPENAME basic_string<charT, traits, 
Allocator>::_RWnull_ref_type
      I1	  29804   basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::_RWnullref;
      I1	  29805 #endif

But I could find no location where it is actually "defined".


So what do I have to do to actually inline this routine?
