Thread: Bloodshed Dev-C++ compiler error

I keep getting this all of a sudden:

Code:

cc1plus.exe C:\Dev-Cpp\Project\xorcodec\cc1plus.exe unrecognized command line option "-fsave-memoized"

Is it supposed to be "-fsave-memorized"? Regardless, how do I get bloodshed to stop passing it? Fiddling with the settings just isn't doing much.

You could perhaps try editing the project.dev file with another editor, whilst dev-c++ isn't running.

Seems like an IDE bug to me, if it's trashed it's own project file.

Perhaps importing just the code files into a new project will fix the problem then. I googled the error and found an old message thread -- apparently that command was used in earlier versions of the compiler, but now is not supported.. or visa versa. Whatever, I'll try a new project.

*edit* neither a new project nor editing the dev file helped.

Maybe you installed another compiler and are using a different cc1plus.exe?

That is not the case, either. I am going to see whether the problem extends into my other projects, and if it does, I will simply reinstall (compiler, libraries, all that).

Alright, here's the really strange thing. I first had the problem with project x, and only project x. I took the source files from project x and made project y, which then had the same problem. I defaulted all settings and then modified the makefile to remove the problematic parameter. Same problem. Strangely, this problem does not exist with any other projects. It must be my code. But what about code could make the compiler use different compile parameters? Ugh.

Well, if the compiler sees lots of loops that look like this

Code:

for(int x = 0; x < 2; x ++) function();

it might pass something like "--unroll-loops".

I don't think it's your project or whatever. cc1plus.exe is called by GCC/g++, not your IDE/Makefile. You must have incompatible versions or something. Perhaps you have found a bug.

Run g++ --version and cc1plus --version. Just a thought.

Since this problem only happens with one project, perhaps you could ignore it or create something like this (untested).

Code:

// cc1plus.cpp

#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::string command = "C:/path/to/compiler/bin/cc1plus";

    for(int x = 1; x < argc; x ++) {
        if(std::strcmp(argv[x], "-fsave-memoized")) {
            command += ' ';
            command += argv[x];
        }
    }

    std::system(command.c_str());

    return 0;
}

all is well

Alas, it isn't. I just am not having good luck with this compiler. Now I'm getting an "exec format" error. Perhaps I should just downgrade to Dev C++ 4.

You might want to try a complete uninstall and reinstall. The details should be available on the website and/or the Dev-C++ forum. I would not advise downgrading to Dev-C++ 4.

Alternatively, you could try wxDev-C++ or Code::Blocks.

Laserlight, you are correct. A third complete uninstall and reinstall did the trick... for now.
