The code in question reads:
printf(" -d debug: show compiled code; implies -i\n"
" -i show information about compiled pattern\n"
#if !defined NOPOSIX
" -p use POSIX interface\n"
#endif
" -s output store information\n"
" -t time compilation and execution\n");
It looks as if gcc 3.0 has printf defined as a macro. IMHO this is
lunacy.
Try inserting
#undef printf
immediately before that statement, and see if it makes it work. (The C
standard requires all standard functions to be available as functions,
even if they are also defined as macros.)
If that doesn't work, well, I suppose the thing can be rewritten so as
to duplicate the text in the source. What an annoying restriction.
There may be other places in the source where I have done this. What do
the C style gurus on this list think? Is it an unreasonable thing to do?
