Last friday I posted a question on making a table of pointers to functions returning void. It seemed that when the functions returned ints everything was fine, but when I tried to return voids the compiler broke. Well, after reading my mail monday I moved my program from our 4.2BSD machine to the 4.3BSD machine. Guess what? The sucker not only compiles with no problem, but lint loves it as well. I had mentioned in the original article that I knew of the problem 4.2 had with void and had typedefed voids to ints, but that didn't help a bit. The moral? Under 4.2, if you ever have a problem with voids if at all possible try the program on another compiler before wasting too much time on it. Last summer I wasted 2-3 days before being told to typedef voids to ints, last week I wasted half a day before posting my plea for help. Thanks to all who replied.
