@section usage Usage of the Library
Include the headers you need with prefix @c mrw, e.g.:
@verbatim
#include
@endverbatim
Compile with debug information enabled, thats option @c -g and
link to the library with option @c -lmrw, e.g.;
@verbatim
g++ -g -o myprogram myprogram.cpp -lmrw
@endverbatim
For the @ref AutoTools "unexpected handler" you need to link with
@c -lmrwexcstderr or @c -lmrwexclog4cxx.
@section threads Thread Safety
All classes are not thread safe, that means they should either
always be accessed from the same thread, or you are responsible
for locking. If you need thread safety as a feature, please send
me an email and ask me for it (you find the adress in the package
or on my personal homepage: http://marc.waeckerlin.org).
@section libversion Library Versioning
The library and the package have the same version number. This
means, if you for example install the package versioned
mrw-c++-2.6.4.tar.gz, then it builds a shared library of the same
version, named libmrw.so.2.6.4. The naming is
version=MAJOR.MINOR.LEAST. What do the numbers mean:
- MAJOR
- If the major number is increased, then the backwards
compatibility was broken. Either there was an incompatible
change in the implementation, or in the interface, e.g. a change
in method parameters, or even parts of the library have been
removed.
- MINOR
- If the minor number changes, then it remains backward
compatible. Either there was a minor change in the
implementation or behavior of some features, a bigger bugfix, or
new feature were added. A program linked to a previous library
with smaller minor number still works, but a program linked to
newer library with a higher minor number may not work with a
library that has a lower minor number. This is a one way,
backwards only compatibility.
- LEAST
- The least number is increased for small changes, bugfixes,
changes in the documentation and so on. Except the bugs, changes
in the least number are fully forward and backward
compatible.
This means, programs linked to mrw-c++ version 2.6.4 will work
with library version 2.6.3, also with version 2.6.5, or with
version 2.7.1, but it won't work with version 2.5.4 nor with 1.1.3
nor with 3.1.4.
You can see the version of the library by issuing the command @c what.
