[comp.lang.c++] Garbage in file..c

al@tahoe.unr.edu (Allen H Brady) (04/12/90)

While translating a small simulation program to C++ I have suddenly been
plagued with errors caught by cc in file..c produced by CC.  The errors
are caused by text garbage that CC has picked up elsewhere in the
source program and placed into the location of some LABELS that I am using.
Thus, label "L5:" gets replaced by "NNING \n" picked up out of a printf
string, "goto L999" becomes "goto ze" picked up out of a function name
"Systeminitialize" and so forth.  A student working with me has experienced
a similar problem.  We are running <<AT&T C++ Translator 2.00 06/30/89>>
recently acquired and installed on a Sperry 7000 under BSD 4.3.  

The errors cropped up at some later point during debugging and I have
not been able to back out of the problem.  It persists.  Has anyone
else experienced such a problem or have a suggestion?
