Sorry to hear that. This check was there for a while, I wonder why it took so long to discover this problem. > Note that this error message is misleading. The program compiles just > fine.

I consider C89 _the_ C language. C99 is a mix of good things and a few bad choices. Especially that the semantics of strings depends on the environment. We had problems figuring out the type to use for 32 bit ints, that's why this check was added. Is't there a way to say "skip this when cross-compiling"? -- >From "know your smileys": :'-D Laughing so much that they're crying /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
