9110 - HAVE_CPP_SPECIALIZATION test not sufficient for SUNWspro 4.2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[tor]

The Sun Workshop compilers v4.2 manage to compile the config test
for specialization, but can't compile the mozilla tree with
specialization turned on.  The compiler dies with an internal
assertation when compiling xpcom/threads/nsEventQueueService.cpp
on the NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS(EventQueueEntry...) line.  Turning off
specialization gives a working build.

The v5.0 compilers handle this fine, so it looks like configure.in
might have to check for this particular compiler version and disable
specialization.

I just checked in a configure hack to special-case the 4.2 compiler.
It'll say it's using specialization, but it won't be.
