I was wondering why the quote merging was happening only for *.c file in HP's cpp. And if it is legal for *.c, why not for *.h, and why doesn't it hit us with other compilers. Looks like we are not using awk for all the subsitutions. Removing the cpp call seems like a great idea. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
