1529.0. "Pro*C 2.0/Oracle 7.2.3/DU 4.0B" by HGOVC::NANDAN () Thu Mar 13 1997 20:08

    
    We are encountering a problem with Pro*C 2.0 and DIGITAL UNIX 
    4.0B. The version of Oracle is 7.2.3. The patch no 397548 has 
    already been applied.
    
    We are unable to do the precompilation even with the sample 
    program. This is an already observed problem as reported in note 
    no 1369. But the subsequent developments on the solution have not 
    been reported in that note, so I am posting the problem afresh.
    
    DU 4.0A has been around for quite some time now & DU 4.0B is not 
    exactly so very new. Is anyone aware of the patch no or a solution 
    for this problem.
    
    By the way, the application works fine with the same versions of 
    Oracle and DU 3.2G.
    
    Thanks in advance.
    
    Nandan.

I'm not sure what the Pro*C patch contains, but just curious whether you are
using the code=ansi_c option during pre-compilation.

    
    The patch 397548 consists of the following files - sf.o, sm.o, 
    ssf.o, uitl.o & I think only the 'oracle' and 'svrmgr' files are 
    built by the patch.
    
    To answer your question, I do not think we are using the 'code' 
    option, which means by default it would be 'kr_c'. Do you 
    recommend using 'ansi_c' as an option. What would be the 
    implication ? (Some other people are actually using the Pro*C).
    
    By the way, Oracle has come back with the message that -
    -  this is bug 409906 & no patch available as of 24th Feb.
    -  the workaround is to use "define=_POSIX_4SOURCE" while doing 
       the pre-compilation.
       This seems to do the trick, but I understand from the guys 
       actually using it that this has other implications on the C 
       code used.
    
    So, in the meantime we wait for a patch from Oracle. Any other 
    suggestions please ?
