i'm a trying to use lint (for the first time ever ;) to debug this bitfields source code (i'm on a SYSV) and i used the command: lint -cn *.c > errors and it generated a 1.2 megs big :( a quick glance at it, however, shows it giving things as errors which are in the regular source code which compiles without any problems at all. e.g. struct.h(504): syntax error at or near type word "char" where line 504 is: 503: typedef signed char sbyte; 504: typedef unsigned char ubyte; etc. and these lines are obviously in the standard source code and cause no problems at all in compiling it. so, am i doing something wrong with lint (extremely likely, since i've never used it before ;) or is there some other problem here? (heh... i just noticed the date on the lint man page: Last change: 23 February 1988 - i guess it may just be that i need a newer version of lint? :) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
