Which version of remctl was this? The trailing comma in enums was a bug, but it was already fixed in both 3.3 and in the current master. I checked just now with that flag, and remctl builds apart from the string length issue (once one undoes Autoconf's detection of C99 variadic macro support). This: > server/remctld.c:53:1: error: string length ‘610’ is greater than the length ‘509’ ISO C90 compilers are required to support [-Woverlength-strings] I do indeed intentionally ignore since I've never seen a system (including otherwise C89 systems, and even older systems) that actually failed to compile long string constants. This limit was in the standard mostly for microcontroller and other free-standing platforms th These: > ./check_reply.c:28:10: error: initializer element is not computable at load time > ./http.c:35:12: error: initializer element is not computable at load time > ./monlist.c:86:10: error: initializer element is not computable at load time are indeed all bugs. lbcd is software that I didn't originally write and just finished adopting, and I hadn't done a -pedantic-errors pass on it yet. I appreciate the note; I'll go and fix those now. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
