Bison 3.8.2 glr2.cc portability report

[Tom Shields]

Akim,

I thought you might be interested in the results of portability testing for the 
Ox 1.10 release (available yesterday).

Ox 1.10 has 6 parsers generated by bison 3.8.2, using the glr2.cc skeleton.

For portability testing, I run the regression tests on each operating systems 
using each C++ compiler listed below.

The Solaris Studio errors noted below are due to a defect in support for the 
C++ 2011: a noexcept operator within a noexcept specifier for an overloaded 
version of std::swap in several header files is the source of the error 
messages above.  The exact same signature is found in the equivalent GNU & LLVM 
header files.  As an experiment (on Solaris 11.4), I edited the offending 
signature in the header files to bypass the problem, which allowed Ox to 
compile.  Ox then failed to link due to several versions of the C++ 
std::ostream '<<' operator missing from the C++ library.

Regards,

Tom Shields
