Re: fnmatch and Tru64

Thanks.

I added "static int dummy;" as the first line in the file (before and
ifdef's or #includes) and the problem still exists. Details below. Any other
ideas?

es40-unix(tst)~ which cc
/usr/bin/cc
es40-unix(tst)~ cc -c -I/usr/users/dave/binutils-2.13/include fnmatch.c -o
fnmatch.o   
es40-unix(tst)~ nm fnmatch.o
                 U _fpdata
                 U _sch_tolower
0000000000000000 T fnmatch

es40-unix(tst)~ cc -g -c -I/usr/users/dave/binutils-2.13/include fnmatch.c
-o fnmatch.o   
es40-unix(tst)~ nm fnmatch.o
nm: fnmatch.o: File truncated

Note: no "dummy" symbol in the nm output.

Removed static from dummy variable definition.

es40-unix(tst)~ cc  -c -I/usr/users/dave/binutils-2.13/include fnmatch.c -o
fnmatch.o
es40-unix(tst)~ nm fnmatch.o
                 U _fpdata
                 U _sch_tolower
0000000000000004 C dummy
0000000000000000 T fnmatch
es40-unix(tst)~ cc  -g -c -I/usr/users/dave/binutils-2.13/include fnmatch.c
-o fnmatch.o
es40-unix(tst)~ nm fnmatch.o
nm: fnmatch.o: File truncated
