Hello everybody.
In
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2000-02/msg00077.html
I described this problem (name duplication, because link-time global names under VMS
are
converted to upper-case), and outlined 2 possible solutions. I now know, that my
suggested solution 1
will work, but it has the annoying drawback, that the names will have to change.
Nick suggested a third possibility:
>Another Solution might be to make the XS functions "static".
I've now tried this but:
If (in EVENT.XS) I write
static int
Const_READABLE()
xsubpp generates the following C-code
XS(XS_Tk__Event__IO_READABLE)
[snip]
RETVAL = ::Const_READABLE();
[snip]
which the C-compiler obviously doesn't like.
If I write
static
int
Const_READABLE()
I get
Error: Cannot parse function definition from 'int' in event.xs, line 1069
from xsubpp
(I can't decide which one is worse).
Am I supposed to do something else to make the
declaration of XS_Tk__Event__IO_READABLE static,
or have I stumbled into an actual bug?
Best regards
