The original bug report is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2005-09/msg00021.html but alas the log is no longer available. A reminder about it was sent to me privately by a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous, and I'm not sure I have permission to reproduce the email. The output (when compiling Bison) contained oodles of "An enumerated type is mixed with another type" diagnostics, because the compiler didn't like mixing int values like 0 and 1 (which "false" and "true" evaluated to) with bool values. There were so many diagnostics, and they were formatted weirdly enough, that it was hard to find the real diagnostics that were more important. The obvious solution is to stop using enum for bool values. I'll try to propose a better solution along those lines soon, one that addresses your concerns about GCC 2. Here is a public message that talks about a similar problem with the SGI compilers: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-textutils/2002-02/msg00020.html _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
