The undefined reference to g_free should be found in libg, which contains some general utility/cleanliness wrappers (e.g. g_free is a wrapper to free). At some relatively recent point in Gtk development, these wrappers were put in their own library. This should come with the Gtk distribution, but

1998-09-11 Thread Niels Hald Pedersen
lex/flex generate tokenisers, which match specific regular expressions in specific contexts, and execute arbitrary code which can reference the text which was matched. yacc/bison generate parsers, which build a parse tree from sequences of tokens. The token stream would normally be

RE: loading info into structures

1998-09-09 Thread Niels Hald Pedersen
The fastest way to read textual data is to write your own scanner using lex/flex, and to ensure that it doesn't need to back-up (see the flex info file for what backing-up is and how to avoid it). Just adding that it may (or may not) be a good idea to use lex/flex in combination with

As for the discussion of the appropriateness of the discussion of global variables, here is my 0.02 Euro: The time I've been on list, it has been a balancing between questions/answers ranging from the rather basic, to the rather hairy. This balancing has mostly been quite good. When it works

egcs ? glibc ?? RH5.0 ???

Hi all; Anybody having experience with installing egcs (1.0.2-8, as the RH5.1 standard RPM) over a vanilla RH5.0 system (implying a glibc of 2.0.5c-10) ? I've just done that, and experience weirdnesses like smashing of the frame/stack pointer during calls to things like printf (from c++ code,
