With all these binaries running about, I wanted to make sure that everyone knew this. gnu-cpp irritates a bug in the stock C compiler, causing -g to produce bogus line #/file name information in the symbol table. The problem is that gnu-cpp can emit #line directives on consecutive lines, which confuses the C compiler. This bug has no effect on the exectable code, only on the debugging information. The fix is simple enough, although if you have gcc its sort of pointless. Simply chage the printf() statements in the cccp.c file from fprintf(outfile,"# line %d, \"%s\"\n", ... ) to fprintf(outfile,\n# line %d, \"%s\"\n", ... ) ^ add a blank line between #line directives. Note that this is purely from memory, so the exact syntax may differ. There are 2 or three instances of this in the cccp.c file. -- :alex.
