I've finally figured out what is making the mangle33.C program fail. It is an arbitrary limitation in tcl. This particular gcc test creates a c++ namespace *name* of 4044 characters in length. It turns out that there is a value buried deep in tcl code (generic/regc_nfa.c):
/* * Arbitrary depth limit. Needs tuning, but this value is sufficient to * make all normal tests (not reg-33.14) pass. */ #define DUPTRAVERSE_MAX_DEPTH 500 Changing this to 5000 makes the gcc test pass. Is it worthwhile to make this change in the Chapter 5 build of tcl? How about BLFS? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
