Hello!

 Simple compilation of a certain C source file fails 
 on the VAX (OpenVMS 6.2, DEC C 5.3-006), while it 
 succeedes on an Alpha (OpenVMS 6.1-1H3, DEC C V5.5-002).
 It is not an obvious problem of different compilation 
 paths, caused by __ALPHA or VAX preprocessor directives.
 The error message is 
%VCG-F-BUGCHECK, Compiler bug check during middle end phase.
 In case someone is interested the code can be found in
 http://axp616.gsi.de:8080/wwwar/util/jam/jamp.zip
 Use @compile to build
 The module in question is jamgram.c

				Have a nice weekend, Martin

1517.1Information ForwardedXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Feb 10 1997 18:313
   I have forwarded this information to the C wizards.

1517.1Known DEC C #line-related BugXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringWed Feb 12 1997 10:464
   This is a known bug in the DEC C compiler.  As a workaround, add a
   #pragma module directive to the top of the file.  This problem will
   be fixed in an upcoming release of the compiler after DEC C V5.5-002.
