[ID 20000207.004] h2ph produces bad compiler defs file
Message ID:
200002080049.QAA03537@fionn.es.net
This is a bug report for perl from helm@es.net,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
This error produced by the syslog packages:
Warning: Use of "defined" without parens is ambiguous at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris-thread/_h2ph_pre.ph line 2.
Can't use subscript on subroutine entry at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris-thread/_h2ph_pre.ph line 2, near "} }"
syntax error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris-thread/_h2ph_pre.ph line 4, near "unless"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /tmp/junk line 4.
seems to come from this file:
# This file was created by h2ph version 1
unless (defined &) { sub () { "" } }
unless (defined &__STDC__) { sub __STDC__() { 1 } }
unless (defined &__sun) { sub __sun() { 1 } }
unless (defined &__unix) { sub __unix() { 1 } }
unless (defined &sparc) { sub sparc() { 1 } }
unless (defined &sun) { sub sun() { 1 } }
unless (defined &unix) { sub unix() { 1 } }
That first line looks bogus. I assume this is extracted from
the c compiler that built perl, but I haven't tracked down where
that test/storage took place (in config.sh, presumably). The compiler
used to build perl is the Sun workshop cc:
Sun WorkShop Compiler C Version 4.200
(plus some jumbo patch)
I commented out this strange initial defined line & scripts seem to work ok.
[Please do not change anything below this line]
