Undocumented Error Message in SCO UNIX System V/386 r3.2

[Andrew P. Mullhaupt]

Sean Eric Fagan at SCO sent me the following self explanatory e-mails
which I post with his permission:

*chuckle*  Sorry:  the problem is that I do not have posting permission on
comp.unix.all here.  You can post my article if you wish...

>I cannot post the source code since it is proprietary,
>(in response to on e-mail inquiry which I can't seem to e-mail
>reply to.) 

You can post anything I said; I very carefully made sure there was nothing
in the message that was Bad and Evil.  In fact, if you would, I would be
grateful, since, again, I cannot post...

------  Following is from me:

OK Sean, Here is your message on error C1066:

------  Following is from Sean Eric Fagan: 

In article <552 at s5.Morgan.COM> you write:
>I get error messages now; in fact I get one that isn't even in the

>*** Error code 1

*sigh*  I would suspect that you have, on line 15, some sort of math routine
(such as, oh, tan, sin, cos, etc.).  If you use -Ox on the command line, but
*don't* include <math.h> (that is, you "manually" declare the function,
instead of using the header file), pass one of the compiler will treat the
function as an intrinsic, but pass two barfs on it.  Workaround:  make sure
that you are including <math.h>, and, as a verification, make sure that
there is a bunch of #pragma function (...)'s in it.  Lastly, assuming all
that is true, make sure that the function you call on line 15 is pragma'd to
be a function.

If all of the above are true, and you still get the error, send me a copy of
the program and I'll take a look at it.

(Now, just wish I could post this...)

Sean.
