The + HDF5 C library uses it in H5private.h. The test ttypes.cpp includes + H5private.h (H5Tpkg.h<-H5Fprivate.h<-H5Vprivate.h<-H5private.h). Sun's 5.9 + C++ compiler doesn't support __func__, thus fails to compile the C++ test. + But 5.11 C++ compiler does. To check whether your Sun C++ compiler knows this + identifier, try to compile the following simple C++ program: + #include<stdio.h> + + int main(void) + { + printf("%s\n", __func__); + return 0; + } + (SLU - 2012/11/5) + * The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD with the native release 8.2 compilers (4.2.1), but are working with gcc 4.6 from the ports (and probably gcc releases after that). |
