Hi - I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this question. I'm just
starting to use Cygwin. Firstly, the Cygwin web site says that the current
version is 1.5.25-15 but my install log says that it installed 2.573.2.3 so
I'm a bit confused about that. Anyway, apart from that, the installation
seemed to succeed and I've been using Cygwin, off & on, for a few weeks.
I'm now starting to compile a project using glibmm. Inside glib.h there are
some assertions, defined something like this:-
#define g_assert(expr) G_STMT_START{ \
if (!(expr)) \
g_log (G_LOG_DOMAIN, \
G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, \
"file %s: line %d: assertion failed: (%s)", \
__FILE__, \
__LINE__, \
#expr); }G_STMT_END
These compile perfectly with my gcc compiler but when I try to use them with
Cygwin I get this error:-
error: stray '\' in program
It's pretty obvious why this is happening - but terminating a line with '\'
is valid code. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I can eliminate
it by #defining G_DISABLE_ASSERT - but then I'll lose the assertion
checks, which I'd really like to keep. Is there something else I could do
to prevent this error?
Thanks,
John
