That array is not used on other platforms. I looked at it a little more, and though mind boggling, it appears to be a correct expansion split at or about the 2048 byte position. I don't see any extra parentheses. The whole expression is balanced. The various PL_ arrays with "2" in their names are because a lot of EBCDIC handling is defined in terms of ASCII, and these convert between the 2 encodings. If there were some way to up the limit beyond 2048, that would be the easiest thing for us. Otherwise, for EBCDIC, or for all platforms, we could turn the longest macros into inline functions. It would be nice to know which others exceed the limit. If your make has a -k flag, that would help see what other problems there are.Thread Previous
