I've had a bug report of compilation failure in some gnulib code from someone using DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 1229) on OSF/1 4.0F.
I suspect that the basic problem is that gnulib's string.h uses unclude_next but the compiler does not support it: cc: Warning: ./stdlib.h, line 36: "include_next" is an invalid preprocessor directive, and is being ignored. (baddirective) # include_next <stdlib.h> --^ cc: Warning: ./string.h, line 21: "include_next" is an invalid preprocessor directive, and is being ignored. (baddirective) # include_next <string.h> --^ I think the code under consideration is this:- #ifdef __DECC # include_next <string.h> #endif The compiler goes on to produce fatal errors about use the undefined type size_t, but I would assume these are a consequence of the inability to include the system <string.h>, which I assume defines it. I don't have access to the affected system, but Nelson Beebe (in the CC: list) does. James.
