>Environment:
I am using the gcc 2.7.2 compiler with SOLARIS 2.5. I am also running into
this problem using
the gcc compiler on Linux 2.0 from Redhat.
Solaris uname info:
SunOS aruba.webengine-db.com 5.5 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-LX
>Description:
My C++ code will not compile on Solaris or Linux with the GNU GCC 2.7.2
compiler.
The problem seems to be with the pool declarations that are within a struct.
For example the following will compile:
typedef struct {
struct pool *pool;
int elt_size;
int nelts;
int nalloc;
char *elts;
} array_header;
but as it is declared in alloc.h will not (notice the struct declaration in
from of pool):
typedef struct {
pool *pool;
int elt_size;
int nelts;
int nalloc;
char *elts;
} array_header;
When I added the struct declaration to all headers that refer to pool within a
struct
everything compiled fine and it seemed to have no adverse effect on the normal
build of the server in C.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try compiling using a source file that ends with .cpp instead of .c
>Fix:
See description of problem above for how I fixed it on my system. This had to
be added to all header files which declared pool within a struct.
alloc.h, httpd.h http_config.h and buff.
