This is usually something related to what the C-preprocessor generates and it is usually signals a problem handling comments (C++ style). I have become even more certain of this after someone like yourself sent me a note in which he was able to solve some of the problems by 'changing' the position of the #includes , and changing some. I was hoping some kind person on the InterNet, (maybe even Calder or Vlissades), would have solved it. But no dice.. my problem is this. I can spend the time making it work with g++ which is freely available and may produce more efficient code.. or I can spend it solving AT&T's/now Saber's problems. I have heard that saber has compiled this code inhouse, so I assume they have already played the game of hunt-and-peck through the header files. I was hoping they would produce the right fixes.., and I think it is a bad marketing decision not too.. this makes it very hard for me to ask for more saber C/C++ seats from my managers. Peter

If you look at the error message, it specifically says "internal ... Translator ... error". That is a message from cfront, not cpp. There may have been an earlier problem, but this one is different. It looks like it should be a generic AT&T C++ problem. I do not know why it seems to only be affecting us SaberC++ user's:-(. I wish somebody would fix it. -- Tom Tkacik GM Research Labs tkacik@hobbes.cs.gmr.com
