[ruby-core:102245] [Ruby master Bug#17578] mkmf experimental C++ Support

Issue #17578 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).

Assignee set to nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Status changed from Open to Assigned
Description updated

I guess recent commit:4b6fd8329b46701414aba2eeca10013cf66ec513 has something to do with it.  @cfis Can you try the current master?  If that fixes your situation I guess we need to backport.

The canonical usage of `MakeMakefile['C++']` is not clear to me either...  We need @nobu's document.

----------------------------------------
I've been working on the Rice gem (https://github.com/jasonroelofs/rice) that wraps C++ code for use in Ruby.

I noticed that some c++ support was added to mkmf for Ruby 2.7. However, if I try to use it find a header it fails to work.  For example:

```ruby
find_header('rice.hpp')
```

The reason is the conftest uses gcc -E instead of g++ -E. To fix that requires overlading the cpp_command to support C++.

This the fix I have put in that works:


```ruby
MakeMakefile['C++'].module_eval do
  def cpp_command(outfile, opt="")
    conf = cc_config(opt)
    if $universal and (arch_flag = conf['ARCH_FLAG']) and !arch_flag.empty?
      conf['ARCH_FLAG'] = arch_flag.gsub(/(?:\G|\s)-arch\s+\S+/, '')
    end
    RbConfig::expand("$(CXX) -E #$INCFLAGS #$CPPFLAGS #$CFLAGS #{opt} #{CONFTEST_CXX} #{outfile}",
                     conf)
  end
end

```

The two changes over the default method are:

$(CC) -> $(CXX) -E
#{CONFTEST_c} -> #{CONFTEST_cxx}

Could this change be merged in? I can provide a patch file if you would like.

Last, it wasn't obvious to me how to activate the C++ support in mkfm. I ended up doing this:

``` ruby
include MakeMakefile['C++']
```

Is that correct?
