2153.0. "#include"x.h> chokes system" by AOSF1::kras (Cyber-Shredder) Tue Apr 15 1997 15:54

Compiling this on my system caused all sorts of havoc:

/* Note the nasty include with mismatched paren/bracket */
#include<stdio.h>
#include"t.h>
main()
{
 printf("Hello World!\n");
}


# /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/gemc_cc -V
DEC C V5.2-033 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 564)
#

To spare you the trouble, the compile sucked every bit of resources from
the system until I ran out of swap (I had it set up for lazy, but I think
you'll have the same problem with eager eval.)

I was able to reproduce this with the latest development compiler. Yes, it
really did bog down my system too.

I've reported it to our preprocessor expert.

Thanks for reporting it.

Sorry about that.  

We're testing the fix right now.  We'll check the new code
into our mainline sources after the test results come back,
most likely tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the report.
