Hallo Emacs-Programmers,

when I tried to compile emacs-19.26 under Solaris2.3 the compiler
stopped at file 'src/gmalloc.c'. The gcc-2.6 message was:

line 1250: parser error at 'ptrdiff_t'.

I tried the Sun C-Compiler2.0.1 too. The result was the same.

Then I took a look at file 'gmalloc.c' and saw that there is a cast from
type 'ptrdiff' to 'int':

__ptr_t
__default_morecore (increment)
 >>>> ptrdiff_t increment; <<<< line 1250
{
  __ptr_t result = (__ptr_t) __sbrk ((int) increment);
  if (result == (__ptr_t) -1)
    return NULL;
  return result;
}

I changed the declaration of 'increment' from 'ptrdiff' to 'int':

__ptr_t
__default_morecore (increment)
     int increment;
{
  __ptr_t result = (__ptr_t) __sbrk ((int) increment);
  if (result == (__ptr_t) -1)
    return NULL;
  return result;
}

After this compilation finished without problems. emacs works as desired
(until now).

with kind regards

P.S: Under SunOs4.1.3 there were no problems with the compilation at all !
