[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Coding Query

ghoti+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Adam Stoller) (04/27/91)

This is a completely UNofficial query - I am simply interested in
gathering some information which could possibly lead to changes in the
distribution - but could also very easily lead to no change.

I am interested in finding out how many people/sites/systems/etc. out
there are not able to compile code with full ANSI-C prototypes.

If you cannot compile this code:
================================
#include <stdio.h>

void foo(int a, char *b);

int main()
{
	foo(10, "you're okay");
	exit(0);
}

void foo(int a, char *b)
{
	printf("%d: %s\n", a, b);
}
================================
Please send me the following information (in mail if possible - NOT to
info-andrew if avoidable):

	Organization/Company/Group/...:
	Hardware Platform:
	Operating System:
	Compiler (name/brand/version/etc.):
	Compilation Log from trying to build the above code:

The address to send this to is:

	ghoti+ansi@andrew.cmu.edu
	
Again - this is only at the stage of collecting information - there is,
as of right now, no official decision to change the coding used in the
Andrew Distribution.

Thanks in advance for the information.

If you cannot compile this code [.....]

Actually - I'd ALSO be interesed in hearing from those people (with the
same information) - who CAN compile the previously posted snipit of
code. (some have already responded as such, but I figured I'd open the
invitation.)
