[Valgrind-users] valgrind 2.1.0 compilation problem with gcc 2.95.3

[Rupert K. <rk...@mu...>]

Hi everybody,

just downloaded the 2.1.0 release. Unfortunately, I was not able to
compile it with gcc-2.95.3 which obviously has problems with anonymous
unions.

Following the well-known rule "when in doubt, use brute force", I
decided to "unroll" the unions to separate components by commenting out
the union keyword, which solved the problem. Up to now, 2.1.0 runs fine
with this hack.

However, I think gcc 2.95.3 should be supported out of the box. After
all, this is still the recommneded compiler for the linux kernel. What
do you think?

Cheers,

Rupert
