Description barnett2 2002-02-25 16:17:46 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)

Description of problem:
Line #37 of /usr/include/inttypes.h header file reads:
#  defined __need_wchar_t

#defined is not a valid directive.

This should read:
#  define __need_wchar_t

I've submitted this to glibc as well, and it is identified as "libc/3004".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I don't know
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  We're using the Intel Compiler, but that seems irrelevant as the line "#  defined" also won't work with the gcc compiler, either.

Additional info:

This error is causing our code not to build.  I don't know why our code is in this section, but that is irrelevant.  As far as how to reproduce the issue, 
I 
don't know, sorry.  I'm about 10 layers removed from the author of the code......

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2002-02-25 16:29:11 UTC

This actually worked with gcc, since it the code in question is #if'ed out
for gcc. Anyway, has been fixed for quite some time in errata.

Comment 2 barnett2 2002-02-25 17:48:40 UTC

Please advise which errata fixes this.

We have glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.3 installed [which is the last one available from updates.redhat.com], and the issue remains.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2002-02-26 10:46:14 UTC

glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.3.
/usr/include/inttypes.h in that package has:
/* Get a definition for wchar_t.  But we must not define wchar_t itself.  */
#ifndef ____gwchar_t_defined
# ifdef __cplusplus
#  define __gwchar_t wchar_t
# elif defined __WCHAR_TYPE__
typedef __WCHAR_TYPE__ __gwchar_t;
# else
#  define __need_wchar_t
#  include <stddef.h>
typedef wchar_t __gwchar_t;
# endif
# define ____gwchar_t_defined   1
#endif

You must be using a different package if you don't see this in it.
