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. --fish

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.) --fish
