Hello everybody,
yesterday i spent a few hours and downloaded the 0.8f version of emx from
hobbes. I installed it and recompiled my 0.8e programs. I encountered some
problems while doing so:

 - first of all: by mistake i deleted my Emacs executable. So i had to
   dump a new version. This is not possible with the DLLs coming with
   0.8f. I got an error in loadup.el (something like end of file...).
   I reinstalled the DLLs from 0.8e and everything worked fine. Could this 
   be an error in one of the new DLLs?
 - Just at the first c++ file i tried to recompile i got a bunch of errors 
   from emx/include/strings.h and emx/include/memory.h because my file included
   std.h. In strings.h and memory.h there a several prototypes defined like :
      void *memccpy(void *s1, const void *s2, int c, size_t n)
   I had to change all occurences of s1 and s2 in these files to sa and sb 
   to get them compiled. I am somewhat confused about that!
 - In another c++ file i define a class with a protected member short *arr.
   The constructor allocates memory : arr = new short[size];
   The destructor frees this memory : delete [] arr;
   With emx 0.8e (gcc 2.2.2) this worked. With the new version the program
   writes a core-dump-file when executing the destructor. I had to change
   the destructor to : delete arr;
   Perhaps i am wrong, but i thought when i allocate memory with 
   "new type[size]" i have to deallocate it with "delete []".
 - After these changes my programs compiled without further error messages 
   (i compiled with -Wall). But a lot of them lead to various SYSxxxx messages 
   when i try to start them.

My programs are all c++, i do not use Zomf or Zmt. My configuration is:
   486/50 ISA board
   16  MBytes ram
   120 MBytes IDE drive
   ATI ULTRA PRO
   OS/2 2.0, SP installed and with 8514A video-mode
   background programs running: PSPM2 and MEMSTAT

Can somebody, who uses 0.8f and c++, tell me wether these problems are related
with 0.8f and gcc 2.3.3? 
Thanks a lot!
