There's no '&' anywhere here. Any chance this file wasn't passed through yacc/lex? Does an '&' show up in raw cpp output (maybe memchr was defined as some macro)? Try: cpp -DPERL_CORE -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe \ -std=c89 -O -Wall -ansi -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement \ -Wendif-labels -Wc++-compat -o toke.out Then inspect toke.out. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
