Package: g++-3.1 Version: 1:3.1-2 Severity: normal in modern C++ the style is:
#include <cassert> std::assert(this_should_be_true); however this fails to compile under 3.1 claiming: parse error before `static_cast' my code is not casting. The cast is coming from assert.h provided by glibc. This may indeed be a glibc bug, if so feel free to reassign it. For now I can work around this by using the C header assert.h which causes assert.h to be interpreted as C, not C++ code. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux one 2.4.18 #1 Sat Mar 9 08:43:28 PST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages g++-3.1 depends on: ii gcc-3.1 1:3.1-2 The GNU C compiler. ii gcc-3.1-base 1:3.1-2 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++4-dev 1:3.1-2 The GNU stdc++ library version 3 ( -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
