Hi,
I just stepped on some strange piece of code in subj:
...
73 extern int nexectype; /* number of elements in execsw */
74 extern struct execsw execsw[];
75 extern kmutex_t execsw_lock;
...
159 struct execsw {
160 char *exec_magic;
161 int exec_magoff;
162 int exec_maglen;
...
Compiler chokes on line 74 - execsw[] defined with type specified
_later_ in the file. I was always sure that one must define the type
_before_ declaring variable of that type. So what is the story here ?
Looks like a bug in the compiler.
So, you say it is legal syntax ?
It works with e.g. gcc-2.95.
I have a firm belief that GCC cannot be used as a standard conformance
test tool. It is notoriously known for complying to its own standard.
I bet you know that as good as me !
Regards,
Cyril
