[jira] Created: (XERCESC-1900) Compile xerces.dll using /MT to
remove the dependency on msvcr90.dll
Compile xerces.dll using /MT to remove the dependency on msvcr90.dll
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESC-1900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1900
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: Windows OS.
Reporter: David Wendt
Priority: Trivial
The xerces-c_3_0.dll requires msvc90.dll to be installed. We have found that some of our customers do not have the msvcr90.dll installed on their machines.
Changing the compile flag from /MD to /MT for the Release configuration will remove the dependency (compiles all needed C-runtime code into the xerces DLL itself). The result is a 90KB bigger DLL which is only about 6% increase in size.
I can provide the modified .vcproj.
Another option is to create a separate Release configuration with this compile option too.

Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-1900:
---------------------------------------
As an option, it's fine, but 99% of today's apps assume DLL-based runtimes and mixing runtime models in a program stack crashes (or used to) due to memory management issues.
You should probably consider bundling MS' runtime library merge modules into your installer.

--------------------------------------
The MS runtime merge modules more than doubled our install size. I'm ok with the 90KB increase. The code works great on the test machines we have. Is there any issue (licensing, etc) with me shipping this rebuilt statically linked version? No code was changed. Just the project file.

Boris Kolpackov commented on XERCESC-1900:
------------------------------------------
I agree with Scott's reasoning plus I don't think we should create special configurations for this case. We already have a large number of them (Debug/Release x 32/64 x ICU/no-ICU, etc) and it is getting harder and harder to maintain. On the other hand, changing the runtime flag in the existing configuration is trivially easy.
If there are no objections, I would like to close this issue.

Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-1900:
---------------------------------------
It's not a licensing issue, it's a "if you change this for everybody else, most code in the world using Xerces on Windows will crash" issue.
If they want to add optional build targets, that's fine, but as a default it's entirely the wrong choice.
Note that MS itself now defaults builds to the DLL version, I believe, and has generally steered everybody that way so that they can properly address security fixes to the runtime. Your approach as with all static linking makes you responsible for all fixes.
If you're worried about disk size, just offer it as a separate download.
