Hi, I'm having any sort of troubles using /bin/cc under sr10.1 on
a dn3000 and finally I think I found my problems in /usr/lib/cpp.
Here it is what happens:
cpp breaks (arbitrarily) lines and insert (wrong) line numbering information in the
middle, here is a short example:
line 38 in .c file: printf("%s --- %2.2d/%2.2d/%1.1d\n",argv[0],d->tm_mon,d->tm_mday,d->tm_wday);
output from cc -E: printf("%s ---
# 42 "t_bks.c"
%2.2d/%2.2d/%1.1d\n",argv[0],d->tm_mon,d->tm_mday,d->tm_wday);
The error I get is pretty clear:
(0038) printf("%s ---
******** Line 38 of "t_bks.c": [Error #003] Unterminated character string.
(0042) %2.2d/%2.2d/%1.1d\n",argv[0],d->tm_mon,d->tm_mday,d->tm_wday);
******** Line 42 of "t_bks.c": [Error #068] The types of [<string-constant>] and
[ 2.200000000000000 ] are not compatible with the "%" operator.
Using /com/cc everything works fine, the program compiles fine on sun and cray/unicos.
As everybody knows, /com/cc has its own cpp ! Don't tell me to /com/cc, I thought
sr10 was Unix, just Unix, bugs included (and new ones added ? :-)
As a side effect, when using dde to debug, I find myself debugging comment lines, thanx
to the wrong numbering cpp is introducing I guess.
I od'ed the file and there are no control characters (after all it was working under sr9.7)
Has anybody the same problem ?
Is there any non-broken apollo cpp around ?
I need a quick solution !
Advance thanx

I reported the same problem to Apollo, and am trying to get them to
write an APR. The SR10.0 cpp works fine, and intresting enough
the /bsd4.3/usr/lib/cpp works fine, but the /sys5.3/usr/lib/cpp
is broken. What I did was to change the symbolic link
in /lib to a shell script that checks the environment. If the
environment is Sys5.3, it call /bsd4.3/usr/lib/cpp -I/sys5.3/usr/include $*
else it calls /bsd4.3/usr/lib/cpp $*. That work around seems to
be ok for now.
