Re: dfa.c no longer usable if no 64-bit support

Just FYI, gawk's dfa.c is now in sync w/Gnulib's. There are still some problems on Vax/VMS. I suspect it's environmental but will let you know if not. Thanks! Arnold arn...@skeeve.com wrote: > Paul, > > Thanks for this. I will work on reducing the differences between > what's in Gnulib and w

Paul, Thanks for this. I will work on reducing the differences between what's in Gnulib and what's in gawk. Vax/VMS is dead as a commercial system, true. But it remains alive as a hobbyist system, especially as it's very easy to run in simulation under SIMH. Thanks! Arnold Paul Eggert wrote:

Hi. The gentleman who maintains the gawk port for VMS reports that he can get dfa.c to compile on Vax/VMS, but that he gets failues when trying to use it to compile regular expressions. The Vax/VMS C compiler does not support 64 bit integers at all (unlike GCC on 32-bit x86, for example). This m
