I recently used an empty RECORD definition in a Modula-2 program. Then the JPI Modula-2 1.17 compiler started giving me spurious "Record too large" errors. The compiler accepted the syntax of the definition. Looking at the grammar in my PIM2, it seems that empty records are allowed, because the "FieldList" non-terminal can be empty. Is this a bug in the JPI compiler? -- Pieter -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!5!492!11!Pieter.Muller Internet: Pieter.Muller@f11.n492.z5.fidonet.org

It probably is a bug. JPI 1.17 was a nice beastie but varied a good deal from the rest of the world. Such an oversight is among the surprises one gets. And of course it is not supported anymore. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!161!42!Frank.Warren Internet: Frank.Warren@f42.n161.z1.fidonet.org
