I have gcc 1.39 on System Vr4. It compiled with just a little trouble,
but when I compile things with, if they include anything from /usr/include,
gcc croaks on some ?ANSI? stuff in the .h files.
This is what causes the problem:
#ifdef __STDC__
#if #machine(pdp11)
# define ULIMIT 512
#endif
#endif
Can anybody tell me what the '#machine' is supposed to do? gcc just doesn't
understand it? Is it a gcc problem? Or is it a new ANSI thing?
Thanks for ANY help...
Tom

Use the fixincludes-V4 shell script included with gcc. It will correct most of these include file bugs. > #if #machine(pdp11) > Can anybody tell me what the '#machine' is supposed to do? Nothing. It's worthless. Even fixincludes-V4 won't cure every instance of this: you may also want to edit /usr/ucbinclude and delete the crap from there too. > gcc just doesn't understand it?

Someone must have been on a stupid drug - there was no call for introducing that sort of incompatibility. -- James R.
