OpenSAML user discussion

[Andreas Vallen <>]

Hello Scott,

We are planning to use the C++ version of OpenSAML2 in an environment 
that uses g++-3.3 as its C++ runtime. Unfortunately this version of the 
gnu compiler misses adequate support for c++ covariant returns that are 
used in the opensaml2 and xmltooling-cpp libraries, resulting in compile 
errors.

For stability reasons upgrading the runtime is not an option for us. So 
we are looking into changing the code to make it compile. This seems to 
be possible without changing the client API.

Maybe you have a simpler solution? If not we'd be like to discuss our 
changes with you so that you might consider incorporating them and we 
wouldn't have to maintain our own version of the libraries.

Kind regards,
Andreas
