How much disk space do you have left on the drive that contains %TMP%? It would seem
that you may be low on space for an intermediate file to be created.

It makes use of a library called os2.lib.  What is this library and where

Norm,

In case you still don't see your source code, here are a few more hints:

- Make sure you are linking with the link386.exe from the PDK (should have a
  date of July or later.

- Don't use MSGBIND

- If you are using a makefile and you set the debug options for the linker and
  the compiler after you built the makefile, you need to rebuild the makefile
  to pick up the changes (this is not done automaitcally).

- Place a check the box in the Compile options -> other options dialog for
  "Perform compile only, no link"

If you are still having trouble, send me your phone number and we'll pursue
this further.

Get all the files in the emx-0.8f directory on hobbes.  This already

Yes, it supports shared memory.  There is supprt for both "named" and
"give-get" shared memory.  Take a look at the following API's: 
DosAllocSharedMem(), DosGetNamedSharedMem(), DosGiveSharedMem(),
DosGetSharedMem() and DosFreeMem().

It believe it was a bug in the thunk for the API which
is fixed in 2.1. It would always be safe to use a ULONG and
only examine the low byte.

Yes, OS/2 1.3 and 2.0 support shared memory. For OS/2 2.0:

#define INCL_DOSMEMMGR
#include <os2.h>

    void *sh_mem, *some_mem;

    /* --- Allocate 16K --- */
    DosAllocSharedMem(&sh_mem, "\\SHAREMEM\\whatever", 16384,
		      PAG_READ | PAG_WRITE);

    /* --- Set it up for suballocation --- */
    DosSubSetMem(sh_mem, DOSSUB_INIT | DOSSUB_SPARSE_OBJ, 16384);

    /* --- Allocate some memory --- */
    DosSubAllocMem(sh_mem, &some_mem, 1024);

For another process to access the shared memory:

    DosGetNamedSharedMem(&sh_mem, "\\SHAREMEM\\whatever",
			 PAG_READ | PAG_WRITE);

Of course, error checking should be performed on all Dos API calls.
You don't need to suballocate it, its just one way of using shared memory.
You will probably also want to create a mutual exclusion semaphore to
control access to the shared memory.

   Try using the debug alloc functions to track down what's going on.
It sounds like you're corrupting malloc's heaps. See Chapter 13 in the

Hello eveyone,

  Sorry to bore all those of experience around here looking for new and thought
provoking conversation, but I'd like to ask for the advice of anyone who can
recommend a good text to start os/2 programming!  I'm relatively inexperienced
in PM type application design and production (most of my experience has been in
DOS and text only unix C stuff) and havn't any knowledge of either windows (ms)
programming, nor C++.  The latter may be a problem but I am willing to learn it
if need be.  I've dl'ed the GNU C/C++ compiler (not emx port) and have tried
elementary os/2 text programming (really basic stuff).

  Also, I don't know if i'm missing something, but is there a program around to
execute the unix-like make files?  Thanxx in advance for any help!!

Regards,
     Neil.

Benjamin is right.  The C++ Annotated Reference Manual (ARM) indicates that
this must be considered an error.  Gcc issues a warning - but the ARM says
that this is not good enough.  Personally, I think the ARM is being overly
pedantic.

The code
	elevator(int x=10, int y=10)
indicates that it is legal to call the second elevator function with
zero arguments (and that x will be 10, and y will be 10 in the called
elevator() function).

Clearly, the first elevator function is also intended to be called with no
arguments.

Therefore, is you write some code like
	if (foo) elevator();
either version of the overloaded function elevator "matches" this
call pattern - in other words elevator() is ambiguous.

The ARM states that the declaration of the two ambiguous elevator
functions should generate an error.  Gcc does not.  In this case gcc
fails to even warn about the problem - even if you *use* the elevator()
function.

The real problem is that the C++ language is so @#$%^& complex that
it is a very difficult language to parse correctly for legal programs.
Parsing the wrong programs and noticing what is wrong is even harder.

For example, the excellent Borland C++ 3.0 compiler sometimes fails to catch
errors until several lines after the mistake - and it issues an unrelated
error message to boot.  And the behavior of the Cfront compiler is
sometimes just bizarre.  So it goes.

Hi Everyone,

A while ago I posted about problems with long filenames and the make that comes

hobbes (under .../2.0/programming), which I did.

Well, it still dies, and with the same error message too.  I've posted it here
(sorry for the wrapping, but that can't be helped) so y'all can see what I
mean.  How do I go about getting NMAKE to recognize long filenames?  I guess 
it's not critical, but long filenames are great for descriptive purposes, and
I'd like to use them.  After all, my drive is formatted HPFS for a reason...

Thanks in advance for any help (I get the feeling this will be a simple one).

Hmm, It seems that i had better rephrase the question.  Has anyone been

difference?)

Also, question: I was using a FD1680 with IBM OS/2 1.1 - 1.3 and they

 What about the Zortech C++ Compiler for OS/2.

 When will it be released. Is it better ?

  Actually, there's a PD program that converts pascal to c, then you can run
that through EMX.  Disadvantage: A little klugy, but you could write a REXX
script to automate it ( I love REXX! ).  ADVANTAGES: It makes 32-bit code,
emx optimizes VERY well, and you've turned it into c, which is usually
more portable.
