We use an UNIX V.2 derivate called SINIX 5.22 and a NSC 32532 machine (MX300).
Using PRO*C V1.3.15.1.2 with ORACLE V6.0.31
we get an interesting problem:
If we declare the parameter of a C-function as ESQL/C hostvariable,
the precompiler generates code which is not compilable with our
C-Compiler due to generation of illegal static declarations in C.
Example:
ESQL/C C generated by precompiler
prsqlca(s,sqlca) prsqlca(s,sqlca)
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; /* SQL stmt #3
char *s; EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; */
struct sqlca *sqlca; char *s;
{ /* SQL stmt #4
/* body */ EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
} */
static int SQLTM[8];
static int sqlusi[1] = {
0};
static int SQLBT0 = 1;
static int SQLBT1 = 2;
static int SQLBT2 = 4;
static int SQLBT3 = 9;
static unsigned long sqlvsn = 10315;
static int IAPSUCC = 0;
static int IAPFAIL = 1403;
static int IAPFTL = 535;
extern void sqliem();
struct sqlca *sqlca;
{
/* body */
}
Our ORACLE hotline can't answer our questions, so we ask you:
1) Is it possible to declare a parameter of a C-function as
ESQL/C hostvariable in PRO*C ? (ESQL/C from other DBMS allows it !)
2) The precompiler creates a lot of static declarations there.
What are they for ?
3) Is this a bug ??
Thanks in advance !

I believe you are probably getting them because you have not created a *global* BEGIN/END DECLARE SECTION pair in your compiled unit. In our documentation (PRO*C Supplement V 1.3) on page 1-5 under the "DECLARE SECTION", last sentence on the page it says "You can define declare sections globally or locally but you must define at least one global declare section even if it holds no declarations." |> 3) Is this a bug ?? |> I don't think so. It is due to a certain vagueness that permeates Oracle documentation.
