kanner@tymix.UUCP (Herb Kanner) (10/04/85)
Recently, we had the temporary use of an AT&T UNIX PC, which is supposed to be running System V. Before returning it whence it came, we tried to compile and execute a moderate sized program (about 2000 lines of C) which had been developed on 4.2BSD. The first thing we had to fix, of course, were instances of identifiers whose first eight characters coincided. This was expected. What was not expected was that while the compiler accepted the declaration of an enum, it refused to permit its use in a switch statement. Is this a bug or a feature? This program did compile and execute ok on 4.2BSD. -- Herb Kanner Tymnet, Inc. ...!hplabs!oliveb!tymix!kanner
