Lines: 12 ---------------------------- Just to keep other people from getting as confused as I was at first, I should point out that in the original article complaining about not being able to use sizeof in a #if line, all occurrences of the string "pcc" should be replaced with the string "cpp" (pcc = Portable C Compiler, cpp = C PreProcessor). Note also that this is highly implementation-dependent, i.e. there is nothing requiring a C compiler to have a separate preprocessor pass, or to call it "cpp". That happens to be the way UN*X does it. -- Morris M. Keesan {decvax,linus,wjh12}!bbncca!keesan keesan @ BBN-UNIX.ARPA
