[CIL users] Parsing coreutils

[ThanhVu (V. N. <ngu...@gm...>]

Hi, I am trying to parse the coreutils 8.25 using CIL 1.7.3 (on a Debian 8
64 bit machine) but so far has no success.  This is what I've done:


   1. Run ./configure in coreutils-8.23 dir  to create Makefile
   2. Edit the generated Makefile in coreutils-8.23 dir and replace CC,
   CPP, and AR with

   #AR = ar

   AR = /home/tnguyen/Src/Devel/CIL/cil-1.7.3/bin/cilly --merge --mode=AR

   #CC = gcc -std=gnu99
                                                               CC =
   /home/tnguyen/Src/Devel/CIL/cil-1.7.3/bin/cilly --merge --save-temps
   -std=gnu99

   #CPP = gcc -std=gnu99 -E
                                                           CPP =
   /home/tnguyen/Src/Devel/CIL/cil-1.7.3/bin/cilly --merge --save-temps
   -std=gnu99 -E

   3.

   Run make, after a while it will give some error
   ....
   lib/gettext.h:218: Warning: Variable-sized local variable msg_ctxt_id

   lib/gettext.h:264: Warning: Variable-sized local variable msg_ctxt_id

   *lib/backupfile.c[325:16-17] : syntax error*

   Parsing errorFatal error: exception Frontc.ParseError("Parse error")

   Makefile:6634: recipe for target 'lib/libcoreutils.a' failed


   Line 325 of lib/backupfile.c is
   ARGMATCH_VERIFY (backup_args, backup_types);


I then comment out this line (and continue to do so whenever there's a
similar syntax error), but eventually give up because there are just too
many errors like these.  Am I missing something ? I've tried older version
of coreutils 8.19 which was releast several years ago but still have
similar errors.

Thanks,
