--- Comment #18 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Rainer Orth <r...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:12d6fa2a21140166181ae3be7711d60e62c569d7 commit r16-467-g12d6fa2a21140166181ae3be7711d60e62c569d7 Author: Rainer Orth <r...@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de> Date: Thu May 8 09:29:56 2025 +0200 cobol: Initialize regmatch_t portably [PR119217] The dts.h initialization of regmatch_t currently breaks Solaris compilation: In file included from /vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/gcc/cobol/lexio.h:208, from /vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/gcc/cobol/lexio.cc:36: /vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/gcc/cobol/dts.h: In constructor âdts::csub_match::csub_match(const char*)â: /vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/gcc/cobol/dts.h:36:35: error: invalid conversion from âintâ to âconst char*â [-fpermissive] 36 | static regmatch_t empty = { -1, -1 }; | ^~ | | | int The problem is that Solaris regmatch_t has additional members before rm_so and rm_eo, as is always allowed by POSIX.1 typedef struct { const char *rm_sp, *rm_ep; /* Start pointer, end pointer */ regoff_t rm_so, rm_eo; /* Start offset, end offset */ int rm_ss, rm_es; /* Used internally */ } regmatch_t; so the initialization doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Fixed by initializing the rm_so and rm_eo members explicitly. Bootstrapped without regressions on amd64-pc-solaris2.11, sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11, and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. 2025-04-08 Rainer Orth <r...@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de> gcc/cobol: PR cobol/119217 * dts.h (csub_match): Initialize rm_so, rm_eo fields explicitly.
