Patch #2 for Ice 3.3.1: slice compilers abort

dwayne

The following patch resolves issue with the slice compilers aborting when the name of the slice file has double slashs in its path. For example:
slice2cpp MyDir\\MySlice.ice

The problem can also arise if a symbolic link to a Slice file (instead of the actual path to the file) is passed on the command line.

To apply the patch to source archive
cd Ice-3.3.1
patch -p0 < slice.patch.txt
and then recompile the Slice library in cpp/src/Slice. For Windows the patch utility can be obtained here.

    Updated patch to fix potential issue generating dependencies.
  • When, if ever, can we expect these patches to be included in the yum repository updates for Red Hat? Thanks.
