Dear GCC Developers: I'm working on porting a project which uses pascal-style strings in C++ code, for example like this: unsigned char *str = "\phello"; Please could you tell me if it is possible to make GCC support these pascal strings. I did some searches and noticed that a pascal string patch was submitted in 2001, but I don't know whether it made it into GCC. I tried using the "-fpascal-strings" option with GCC, but it said it was unrecognized. What can I do? I notice that Apple's version of GCC supports the "-fpascal-strings" option. Has this feature been integrated into the main distribution? I suppose I could try to use Apple's version of GCC, but that probably won't work because I need to compile for x86, not PowerPC. Please reply to: spamme416@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks very much. Andy
