[comp.unix.i386] LPI ANSI C on ISC 2.2 a lone disappointment

tom@litle.litle.com (tom hampton) (06/27/90)

We unwrapped Interactive's new version of their operating system with
anticipation -- our other platforms from DOS to Stratus VOS support
ANSI C.

Sadly, we find that we can't use ISC ANSI with ISC's TCP/IP library, as 
the latter uses in-line assembly language code with which the former can 
not cope. ..

Oh well.

Otherwise, we have been very pleased with 2.2.

If you define NO_ASM in your CFLAGS, the library functions for the commands
will be used.

gcc has the same problem, but gcc -DNO_ASM works. I suspect adding
-DNO_ASM to the ISC ANSI compiler command line will work too.
