Building +a Standard C++ Application or Library

This topic describes the required header files and libraries to compile +and link against to build a Standard C++ application or library on a Symbian +platform build environment.

You can build a C++ application or library using one of the following target +types:

STD target +types

You can develop a C++ application or library using the following +STD target types:

STDEXE
STDDLL
STDLIB

These target types enable symbol lookup by name thereby adding the +symbol information into the executable.

Note: For more information +about STD target types (STDEXE /STDDLL /STDLIB), +see the Target Types section.

Example

The +following code snippet illustrates the use of the STD target type stdexe:

//writing an stdexe, the mmp file may look like follows +//Start of test_stdexe.mmp +Target test_stdexe.exe +Targettype stdexe +Source test1.cpp +Systeminclude /epoc32/include/stdapis/stlportv5 +Library libstdcppv5.lib +Capability all -tcb +//End of test_stdexe.mmp

Other Symbian +target types

You can avoid symbol information overhead while developing +C++ applications or libraries, by performing the following configurations:

Use the other Symbian +target types such as, dll, lib, exe and +so on. For more information about other Symbian target types, see the targettype section.
In addition, use the +MMP keyword STDCPP.

You may also have to include ${EPOCROOT}/epoc32/include/stdapis explicitly +as the standard C headers are required by the standard C++ header. If you +are referring to Standard C APIs directly or indirectly, you must specify libc.lib and libpthread.lib in +the .mmp file.

Example

The following +code snippet illustrates the use of STDCPP MMP keyword and +the use of the exe target type:

//test_exe.mmp +Target test_exe.exe +Targettype exe +//The STDCPP keyword specifies Standard C++ +STDCPP +Source test2.cpp +Systeminclude /epoc32/include/stdapis/stlportv5 +Systeminclude /epoc32/include/stdapis +Library libstdcppv5.lib libc.lib +Staticlibrary libcrt0.lib +Capability all -tcb +//End of test_exe.mmp
