<122 lines deleted by Adrian Aichner> I'm at a loss at this one, after first consulting http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?qu=%22empty%20controlled%... I can't see any empty controlled statement in the area that could cause this. I got that one figured out. The problem is caused by the ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN macro evaluating to nothing if ERROR_CHECK_TEXT is not defined. This makes following if have an empty controlled statement. if (is_ascii) ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN ((Ascbyte *) dst, dstlen); => return (fold_case == 0 ? qxememcmp4 (src, len, dst, dstlen) : fold_case == 1 ? qxememcasecmp4 (src, len, dst, dstlen) : qxetextcasecmp (src, len, dst, dstlen)); === from text.h === #ifdef ERROR_CHECK_TEXT #define ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN(ptr, len) \ do { \ int aia2; \ const Ascbyte *aia2ptr = (ptr); \ int aia2len = (len); \ \ for (aia2 = 0; aia2 < aia2len; aia2++) \ assert (aia2ptr[aia2] >= 0x00 && aia2ptr[aia2] < 0x7F); \ } while (0) #define ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII(ptr) \ do { \ const Ascbyte *aiaz2 = (ptr); \ ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN (aiaz2, strlen (aiaz2)); \ } while (0) #else #define ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN(ptr, len) #define ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII(ptr) #endif <219 lines deleted by Adrian Aichner> -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
