The following will correct two problems previously reported in this newsgroup: one with the Kernel Library Class ARGUMENTS (wrong indexing) and one with function rabs in the Kernel Library Class BASIC. The correction is given in the form of a ``diff'' between the old and new versions of Installation_directory/Eiffel/files/_utility.c ***************************************************************** 2a3 > #include "_gac.h" 67c68 < int *c_option (index) --- > DATUM c_option (index) 70,71c71,77 < if ((*arg_strings) && (arg_strings [index])) < return ( (int *) MakeStr (arg_strings [index])); --- > DATPTR strarg; > if ((*arg_strings) && (arg_strings [index])) { > strarg = (DATPTR)malloc (sizeof(DATPTR)); > (*strarg) = DATOBJ (MakeStr (arg_strings [index])); > if (gac_option) ONCE(*strarg); > return(*strarg); > } 73c79 < return ((int) NULL); --- > return ((DATUM) NULL); 95c101 < c_rabs (r) --- > float c_rabs (r) ***************************************************************** Be sure to make a backup copy of the file before applying the correction. After applying it, re-generate the archive of the run-time system by running ``make -f _makeD'' and (only on a BSD version of Unix) run `ranlib _run_time.a'. -- Jean-Pierre Sarkis jp@eiffel.com Replies to: eiffel@eiffel.com
