Hi folks,
Ok...looked through the archives and couldn't find any reference
to this error.
info:
This is NT4 box.
Used latest setup.exe to install/update to 1.1.3-1
From cygcheck -s:
MAKE_MODE="unix"
d:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user binmode
d:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user binmode
d:\cygwin / user binmode
Apparent error:
header file is being parsed incorrectly by g++.
Error Reproducible?
Yes, this is reproducible.
When g++ detects '\' in a header file, it is unable to parse it
except as "stray '\' in program".
When '\' removed from header, the problem disappears.
Example:
a)
#define D3DRGB(r, g, b) \
(0xff000000L | ( ((long)((r) * 255)) << 16) | (((long)((g) * 255)) << 8) | (long)((b) * 255))
fails ("stray '\' in program").
b)
#define D3DRGB(r, g, b) (0xff000000L | ( ((long)((r) * 255)) << 16) | (((long)((g) * 255)) << 8) | (long)((b) * 255))
works.
Peace,
Paul G.
