[comp.lang.c++] Glockenspiel "-7" errors ??

mikem@otc.otca.oz (Mike Mowbray) (11/16/90)

I'm in a situation where I must use the Glockenspiel C++ offerring under OS2.
It's supposedly a straight port of AT&T 2.0. However, at unpredictable
times it produces "internal error code -7" with no indication about which
line number it was up to in the file.

I thought this might have something to do with the cfront's "bus error or
something nasty like that" message, translated into the DOS/OS2 world where
core dumps do not exist. But the AT&T cfront gives me a line number if a
bus error happens. The same code, compiled under my unix port of 2.0
compiles happily.

The symptoms seem to occur when I've included a header file whose contents
are not actually used in the .c file, but there are also other cases.

1) Has anyone encountered this problem before, and found out anything which
   might point me at a solution. (?)

2) Does anyone have an email contact for a non-turkey technical person at
   Glockenspiel? Trying to get support out of them through normal channels
   has proven nigh impossible.

Please respond by email. Any thoughts on the above greatly appreciated.
