We just traced a wierd bug. After some debugging it turned out that parts of the code was not compiled. The code was something like: #ifdef /* FLAG */ do_something(); #endif Obviously the source was compiled with -DFLAG. The code between the #ifdef and #endif was not included in the compilation and everyone looked over this error (?). The compiler gave no warnings or errors, but I think it should do so in this case as an 'ifdef' always requires an identifier, or do I miss something ? I also tried just a plain '#ifdef' on a line and this too is accepted by our compiler (i.e. code is not included in the compilation). -- _ _ / U | Dolf Grunbauer Tel: +31 55 433233 Internet dolf@idca.tds.philips.nl /__'< Philips Information Systems UUCP ...!mcsun!philapd!dolf 88 |_\ If you are granted one wish do you know what to wish for right now ?
