I'm getting rather frustrated at the include files we have for C++ (Version 1.1 -- the latest). It came with a shell script to modify the system so that it ran on 4.2BSD. Now I find that many of the include files are just plain wrong. The main offender is the include file "osfcn.h". If you include it in your program, it will not compile due to a syntax error in the file itself. Many of the system calls are also wrong. The file "sys/stat.h" has a stat structure that is different from the one the C compiler uses, which is why I got a core dump. AT&T say they will not be giving official support for C++ until version 3.0. 3.0? How long must I wait for that? (Phew, I'm glad to get that off my chest.) -- EMAIL: stephen@comp.lancs.ac.uk | Post: University of Lancaster, UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4120 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.
