While trying to use gcc to compile various sunview things (under sunos 4.0.3)
I ran into the recent problem with gcc's preprocessor, and sun's CAT macro.
In condensed form, here's what it looks like:
/* Start of "C" file */
#ifndef CAT
#undef IDENT
#define IDENT(x) x
#define CAT(a,b) IDENT(a)b
#endif
main()
{
int name_data;
CAT(name,_data) = 5;
printf("%d\n",name_data);
}
Here's the output from pcc -E:
# 1 "temp.c"
main()
{
int name_data;
name_data = 5;
printf("%d\n",name_data);
}
Here's the output from gcc -E:
# 1 "temp.c"
main()
{
int name_data;
name _data = 5;
printf("%d\n",name_data);
}
/* End of output */
NOTE THE name<space>_data line--
the space between the name and data makes it impossible to use this macro with
gcc (and thus to use gcc with sun's include files.)
As I'm not a compiler guru, I don't know how to fix the problem, but I
hope someone who does can fix it.
