I'm using gcc 2.95.3 (on the machine that shows the failure), and I think Bruce is also using something less than the latest. It's possible that more recent gcc's are able to figure out that the reference to free_func should be interpreted as a parameter name and not a typedef. In fact, trying your test program fails here: $ gcc -Wall zzz.c zzz.c:8: parse error before `free_func' zzz.c:8: parse error before `)' $ so "compiler difference" definitely seems to be the answer. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
