Saber still doesn't seem able to deal with the debugging information
that the GNU C compiler puts in its object files. Saber gives the
following messages:
30 -> load quux.o
Loading: quux.o
Saber internal (parsing) error (signal 10).
(internal location 0x2a2f3, 0x7fffe870)
Trying to recover...
Resetting to top level.
31 ->
This is not very friendly... and it was for a very simple source file
too:
int foo;
long bar (long quux) {
foo = quux / -1;
return foo;
}
It would be acceptable for it to complain and ignore the debugging
info, or maybe complain and force the user to use -G, but it shouldn't
be reporting internal errors.
Saber also let me define a macro with two values, and I couldn't
figure out how to straighten things out without unloading the entire
workspace:
31 -> #define compile(x) system("gcc -O -g -c -v " # x)
32 -> #define compile(x) system("gcc -O -g -c " # x)
Warning #339: Incorrect redefinition of macro 'compile'.
The current definition is:
#define compile(x) system("gcc -O -g -c -v " # x)
33 -> #undef compile
Error #245: 'compile' is ambiguous
34 -> whatis compile
#define compile(x) system("gcc -O -g -c " # x)
#define compile(x) system("gcc -O -g -c -v " # x)
35 -> whereis compile
"workspace":32 #define compile ...
"workspace":31 #define compile ...
36 -> compile(sadf.c)
Error #245: 'compile' is ambiguous
