Bug 1130

Summary: '-fpermissive' should be added to CFLAGS while configuring ns-3.7
Product: ns-3 Reporter: Utkarsh Upadhyay <musically.ut>
Component: meshAssignee: Kirill Andreev <andreev>
Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX    
Severity: normal CC: ns-bugs, tomh
Priority: P5    
Version: ns-3.7   
Hardware: PC   
OS: Linux   

Description Utkarsh Upadhyay 2011-05-07 07:02:45 UTC 
It fails with the following error:

../src/devices/mesh/mesh-wifi-interface-mac.cc:695:37: error: cannot call constructor 'ns3::MeshWifiInterfaceMac::Statistics::Statistics' directly
../src/devices/mesh/mesh-wifi-interface-mac.cc:695:37: error:   for a function-style cast, remove the redundant '::Statistics'

------------------------------------------------------------------------

System info:

~/repos/ns-3-allinone/ns-3.7$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) 4.5.2

~/repos/ns-3-allinone/ns-3.7$ uname -a
Linux Arrakis 2.6.38-9-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 28 15:25:15 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I am not sure whether it fits with 'mesh' module, or in the 'general' category. I am supposing this is an issue with gcc versions, which will probably apply to the whole package.

The compiler errors goes away if '-fpermissive' is passed in CXXFLAGS to waf.
This is a compiler version issue.
Comment 2 Kirill Andreev 2011-05-17 03:27:28 UTC 
Which build has failed (debug, optimized, release), and could you send me what ./waf configure has shown?

It was the release build (I think), obtained by:

$ ./download.py -n ns-3.7

Also,

$ ./waf configure

Comment 4 Kirill Andreev 2011-06-02 11:55:21 UTC 
Did you try ns-3.11 (or 3.10, where there is no modular build)? If it works, I will close this bug. I have seen that you use ns-3.7 just now
Comment 5 Utkarsh Upadhyay 2011-06-02 12:04:04 UTC 
The other versions compile without this problem. 
I think this bug can be closed safely if '-fpermissive' is added to CFLAGS while configuring ns-3.7.
Comment 6 Tom Henderson 2011-08-09 16:17:45 UTC 
closing as we no longer support ns-3.7
