I found this when building doxygen. Found a simple test case on the web: <http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27705&messageID=99171>
$ cat ll.cc #include <signal.h> int CS; $ g++ ll.cc ll.cc:2: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant It works correctly on Solaris/sparc. My system is amd64, using the Sun gcc. /usr/include/sys/regset.h #define's CS on x86/amd64 only ... hence the brokenness. A comment there says "The names and offsets defined here are specified by i386 ABI suppl.". So my question is, should these be in a namespace, or is code that uses these various register names as symbols broken. I couldn't find any mentions of this kind of error on non-Solaris machines, but I don't think that points to an answer either way. thanks -frank
