Re: Bison 1.28 for windows

[Axel Kittenberger]

Oh well, compiling that version with vc++ isn't that straight :-/

vc it doesnt accept the 'inline' function prefix.
According to their documentation inline is a c++ only extension.

However as one can easily predict switching to the c++ compiler results
into various other odds and ends

One of these is this struct in state.h line 104:
---------------------------
typedef struct shifts
{
  struct shifts *next;
  short number;
  short nshifts;
  short shifts[1];
}
shifts;
---------------------------
As one of the differences between c and c++, visibilty of structures have
changes. It doesn't seem to like a variable called the same name as the
structure itself. stupid vc++ expects it to be a constructor then, hehe

Don't know is it better to convert code so a c++ compiler is also happy?

Or simply add
--------------------------------
#if !defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(__GNUC__)
#define inline
#endif
--------------------------------
in one of the headers?
