gcc 4.5.0 stddef.h clobbers __size_t with #define, breaks VMS (code already avoids similar on FreeBSD)‏
VMS decc$types.h: typedef unsigned int __size_t; but with GCC 4.5.0 this preprocesses as: typedef unsigned int ; and there are ensuing errors e.g. when compiling gcc/libiberty/regex.c probably because of: /usr/local/lib/gcc/alpha-dec-vms/4_5_0/include/stddef.h (it does get included) #if defined (__FreeBSD__) && (__FreeBSD__>= 5) /* __size_t is a typedef on FreeBSD 5!, must not trash it. */ #else #define __size_t #endif presumably should be more like: #if (defined (__FreeBSD__) && (__FreeBSD__>= 5)) || defined(__vms) /* __size_t is a typedef on FreeBSD 5 and VMS, must not trash it! */ #else #define __size_t #endif - Jay -- Summary: gcc 4.5.0 stddef.h clobbers __size_t with #define, breaks VMS (code already avoids similar on FreeBSD)‏ Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: jay dot krell at cornell dot edu GCC build triplet: any GCC host triplet: any GCC target triplet: alpha-dec-vms http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44003
