The problem we encountered here is not the c-compiler but the c-preprocessor. If you consider a macro like this #define XYZ(a,c,b) \ ((a)*(b)*(c)) then in unix format you have #define XYZ(a,b,c) \{LF} but in dos format this becomes #define XYZ(a,b,c) \{CR}{LF} This is then regarded as #define XYZ(a,b,c) \{Whitespace}{LF} and therefore the macro XYZ(0,1,2) is expanded to \. Oooops. Patching cpp helps in this case. For the c-compiler one additional whitespace at the end of each line is not a problem. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin Dahlhausen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Morse Controls ap096@po.cwru.edu > Thought for the day: > Book (n): a utensil used to pass time while waiting > for the TV repairman. > > ________________________________________________ > To get help for the crossgcc list, send mail to > crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'help' > (without the quotes) in the body of the message. > kind regards, Rolf +-----------------+-----------------------------------------+ | _____ | Rolf Fiedler | | / ___/ | Electronic Design Engineer | | / _/ | Ferrari electronic GmbH | | /_/e/r/r/a/r/i/ | phone: +49 3328 4559 0 | | electronic | E-Mail: Rolf.Fiedler@Ferrari.DE | | | fax : +49 3328 4559 60 | +-----------------+-----------------------------------------+ "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" ________________________________________________ To get help for the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'help' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
