[Fink-devel] bug in ncurses-5.2-8 ???

[Paul G. <Pau...@en...>]

Since yesterday, I have "jaguar".

But I can't update 'fink' correctly because I found a bug (?) in ncurses-=
5.2-8.

If I make some tests :

	> sudo -s
	> cd /sw/src/ncurses-5.2-8/ncurses-5.2/ncurses/
	> sh ./base/MKlib_gen.sh "gcc -E" "gawk" < ../include/curses.h
	/*
	 * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND!
	 * It is generated by MKlib_gen.sh.
	 *
	 * This is a file of trivial functions generated from macro
	 * definitions in curses.h to satisfy the XSI Curses requirement
	 * that every macro also exist as a callable function.
	 *
	 * It will never be linked unless you call one of the entry
	 * points with its normal macro definition disabled. In that
	 * case, if you have no shared libraries, it will indirectly
	 * pull most of the rest of the library into your link image.
	 */
	#include <curses.priv.h>


	#undef addch
	int addch ( const chtype z)
	{
	% % T ( ( T_CALLED ( "addch(%s)"), _tracechtype2 ( 0, z))) ;=20
returnCode ( waddch ( stdscr, z)) ;
	}


'gcc -E' is not a 'good' preprocessor for 'ncurses' :

	> sh ./base/MKlib_gen.sh "gcc -E -traditional" "gawk" <=20
../include/curses.h
	/*
	 * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND!
	 * It is generated by MKlib_gen.sh.
	 *
	 * This is a file of trivial functions generated from macro
	 * definitions in curses.h to satisfy the XSI Curses requirement
	 * that every macro also exist as a callable function.
	 *

	 */
	#include <curses.priv.h>


	#undef addch
	int addch ( __const chtype z)
	{
	        T((T_CALLED("addch(%s)"), _tracechtype2(0,z)));=20
returnCode( waddch(stdscr,z));
	}

'gcc -E -traditional' or 'cpp' is correct !!!
