I have a C compiler bug in my XENIX 2.2.1 system. uname -a: sysname=XENIX; release=2.2.1; version=SysV; machine=i80286 It's a Vectra RS20. Any hints would be appreciated. Try compiling this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- int level; long *c_disp; extern long c_dis[]; foo() { c_disp = c_dis + level; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I get this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- % cc -c -Ml foo.c foo.c foo.c(7) : Compiler error (internal): Infinite spill -------------------------------------------------------------------------- which is very little help, to say the least. Work around? Change the code to look like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- int level; long *c_disp; extern long c_dis[]; foo() { register int l = level; c_disp = c_dis + l; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Tune, Hewlett Packard Australian Software Operation.

I tried the first program on my system (Xenix 2.2.3, 386, etc). I tried it
for 386 code, 286 large model, and 286 small model. They all worked. FYI,
the 286 models use a 286 compiler instead of the 386 compiler. I believe
that it is the same compiler as distributed in the 286 development system.
