Re: [TUHS] Illumos )

Hey, thanks, Derrik. I don't mess with Linux much (kind of an Illumos junkie by trade ;), but I bet gcc would. I did out of curiosity do it with the Macintosh cc (Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)) and it throws warnings about our not type-defining functions because you're apparently supposed to do this explicitly these days, but it dutifully goes on to assume int and compiles our test K&R stuff mostly fine. It does unfortunately balk pretty badly at the naked returns we initially had, though. Wish it didn't because it strikes me as being beautifully simple.. thx again for the encouragement! jake On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 1:02 AM, Derrik Walker v2.0 <dwalker(a)doomd.net> wrote: > On Wed, 2014-12-31 at 00:44 -0500, Jacob Ritorto wrote: > > > > > P.S. if anyone's bored enough, you can check out what we're up to at > > https://github.com/srphtygr/dhb.
