OK -- this I don't understand... (:-/) I just updated my source tree and tried to compile. It died trying to do listsem.c: Cc /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/generated.x86gcc2/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/listsem.o /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c: In function `main': /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:100: warning: unused variable `sem' /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:103: parse error before `int' /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:105: `semID' undeclared (first use in this function) /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:105: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:105: for each function it appears in.) /boot/WORK/HAIKU_DEV/haiku/src/bin/listsem.c:105: `info' undeclared (first use in this function) So looking at the source: listsem.c -- line 96: } else if (!strcmp(argv[i], "-s")) { if (argc < i + 2) printf("-s used without associated sem id\n"); else { sem_id sem = atoi(argv[i+1]); } line 103: int semID = atoi(argv[i+1]); sem_info info; if (get_sem_info(semID, &info) == B_OK) { print_header(NULL); print_sem_info(&info); } else printf("semaphore %ld unknown\n\n", semID); i++; } else { Hunh? This is *C*. How could the above code *ever* have compiled? It has a declaration following statements in the same block. No one else hit this? -- Pete --
