* g-socket.adb (Abort_Selector): Initialize Buf to prevent valgrind from complaining on potential uninitialized reference. Change calls to GNAT.Sockets.Thin.Is_Socket_In_Set to account for new specification and test explicitly for non-zero return value. * g-socthi.ads (Is_Socket_In_Set): Declare imported function as returning C.int, to avoid using a derived boolean type. * exp_ch5.adb (Make_Tag_Ctrl_Assignments): Use Duplicate_Subexpr_No_Checks in preference to direct use of Remove_Side_Effects and New_Copy_Tree. Clear Comes_From_Source on prefix of 'Size attribute reference. * g-socthi.adb, g-socthi-vms.adb, g-socthi-mingw.adb, g-socthi-vxworks.adb: Change calls to GNAT.Sockets.Thin.Is_Socket_In_Set to account for new specification and test explicitly for non-zero return value. * g-socthi-vms.ads, g-socthi-mingw.ads, g-socthi-vxworks.ads: (Is_Socket_In_Set): Declare imported function as returning C.int, to avoid using a derived boolean type. 2004-08-09 Albert Lee <lee@gnat.com> * system-irix-n32.ads: Refine tasking priority constants for IRIX. 2004-08-09 Pascal Obry <obry@gnat.com> * gnat_ugn.texi: Document new way to build DLLs on Windows using GCC's -shared option. * mlib-tgt-mingw.adb (Build_Dynamic_Library): Pass GCC's options into Options_2 parameter (options put after object files). 2004-08-09 Olivier Hainque <hainque@act-europe.fr> * decl.c (gnat_to_gnu_entity) <E_Array_Subtype>: Adjust condition to ignore overflows on low and high bounds of an index to also account for differences in signedness between sizetype and gnu_index_subtype.

(Resolve_Attribute, case 'Access): The attribute reference on a subprogram is legal in a generic body if the subprogram is declared elsewhere. 2004-08-09 Vincent Celier <celier@gnat.com> * makegpr.adb (Build_Library): Link with g++ if C++ is one of the languages, otherwise building the library may fail with unresolved symbols.

Discr is used to control the generated case statement for Unchecked_Union types. (Make_Eq_If): Rename formal parameter Node to E in function signature. * exp_ch4.adb (Build_Equality_Call): Implement equality calls for Unchecked_Unions.

@cindex DLLs, building
+@noindent
+This section explain how to build DLLs using the GNAT built-in DLL
+support. With the following procedure it is straight forward to build
+and use DLLs with GNAT.
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item building object files
+
+The first step is to build all objects files that are to be included
+into the DLL. This is done by using the standard @code{gnatmake} tool.
+
+@item building the DLL
+
+To build the DLL you must use @code{gcc}'s @code{-shared}
+option. It is quite simple to use this method:
+
+@smallexample
+$ gcc -shared -o api.dll obj1.o obj2.o ...
+@end smallexample
+
+It is important to note that in this case all symbols found in the
+object files are automatically exported. It is possible to restrict
+the set of symbols to export by passing to @code{gcc} a definition
+file, @pxref{The Definition File}. For example:
+
+@smallexample
+$ gcc -shared -o api.dll api.def obj1.o obj2.o ...
+@end smallexample
+
+If you use a definition file you must export the elaboration procedures
+for every package that required one. Elaboration procedures are named
+using the package name followed by "_E".
+
+@item preparing DLL to be used
+
+For the DLL to be used by client programs the bodies must be hidden
+from it and the .ali set with read-only attribute. This is very important
+otherwise GNAT will recompile all packages and will not actually use
+the code in the DLL. For example:
+
+@smallexample
+$ mkdir apilib
+$ copy *.ads *.ali api.dll apilib
+$ attrib +R apilib\*.ali
+@end smallexample
+
+@end enumerate
+
+At this point it is possible to use the DLL by directly linking
+against it. Note that you must use the GNAT shared runtime when using
+GNAT shared libraries. This is achieved by using @code{-shared} binder's
+option.
+
+@smallexample
+$ gnatmake main -Iapilib -bargs -shared -largs -Lapilib -lAPI
