Hello. While compiling 2.6.11 on IRIX with MIPSpro, I bumped into the following problem:
char *arg = alloca_strdup(args->getarg(modeind)); where args is a recursive definition itself.. #define args (parent->args) and alloca_strdup uses its argument multiple times giving the following (non-compiling, pretty ugly :) code: char *arg = ((((parent->(parent->args))->getarg(modeind)))?strcpy((char*)__builtin_alloca(strlen((((parent->(parent->args))->getarg(modeind))))+1+0),(((parent->(parent->args))->getarg(modeind)))):((0)==0?0:(char*)__builtin_alloca((0)))); The following modified code compiles though: char *arg = args->getarg(modeind); arg = alloca_strdup(arg); Mixing recursive macros with macros using its argument multiple times is just begging for problems.. And now I ran into one :) Thanks for the best text mode client out there ;) /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ing.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,ing,acc}.umu.se
