[comp.os.minix] 1.1 C Compiler bugs?

petem@runx.ips.oz (Peter Mason) (01/08/89)

I have a NEC APCIII, and have spent the last couple of months converting
the (as distributed) MINIX 1.1 source to something runnable using MSDOS
as the development system. Having achieved a reliable and stable MINIX
that I can boot, I'm now making changes so my MINIX is self-supporting, but
I'm getting sinister results. A while back someone posted a notice that
suggested there were bugs in the C compiler (1.1?), with particular reference
to the tty.c code.

Perhaps I'm clutching at straws but if there are bugs in the compiler then
I'd better know. Help?
