[net.unix-wizards] ... \"the long name problem\"?

tim@cithep.UucP (Tim Smith ) (05/01/85)

summary of referenced article:  his compiler has long names, but his assembler
and linker do not.

This reminds me of something I noticed about UniSoft ports of System V.  The
assembler and linker support 50 character names ( along with a bug that makes
exactly 50 characters cause a core dump ).  This means that adb and nm and
everything else also know about them, so all UniSoft System V users with source
have to do is recompile the C compiler to use longer names.  I tried this
( it only required changing one #define ), and it seems to work.
