[gobo-eiffel-develop] EDP and ET_C_GENERATOR

[Howard T. <how...@di...>]

Hi all,

I have been bringing my EDP project up to date with respect to Gobo SVN, and 
have identified a couple of bugs somewhere in ET_C_GENERATOR as of SVN 
revision 6046 (I think).

The new implementation of once manifest strings has a bug, in that at least 
one once manifest string has been misplaced by another one in EDP when 
generated with the new ET_C_GENERATOR.

There is also a C emitted code problem for an external C routine, where 
previously the arguments were passed without casts, and are now cast to (char 
*) which the C compiler complains about, although it does not alter (for a 
32-bit platform) the resulting code.

Unfortunately, the SVN repository on Sourceforge for EDP has become corrupted 
and I am unable to update it. This has been reported to the SF team.

The problem appears to have arisen as a result of committing one of the 
generated C files for EDP, as a single file, to SVN. As Eric has now 
implemented file splitting for the C generation (thanks Eric !), this problem 
may not recur (hopefully) after SF have fixed or expunged the existing 
repository.

Regards,

Howard Thomson
