Description Calum Mackay 2003-07-30 01:03:00 UTC
Whilst configuring the mozilla appsuite with 3.3.1, the following error occurs:

checking whether C++ compiler has -pedantic long long bug... yes
configure: error: Your compiler appears to have a known bug where long long is m
iscompiled when using -pedantic.  Reconfigure using --disable-pedantic. 

I can reproduce the test:

diz $ cat conftest.C 
int main () {
        if (sizeof(long long) != 8) { return 1; } 
        return 0;
}
diz $ c++ -pedantic conftest.C
conftest.C: In function `int main()':
conftest.C:2: error: ISO C++ does not support `long long'

Is mozilla using a valid test?

I'm using the Debian unstable packages:

diz $ c++ -v

Is this possibly related to bug 11459?
Comment 1 Andrew Pinski 2003-07-30 01:11:57 UTC
There was a change in 3.3.1 which pedantic warnings into errors because those were changing 
into warnings from errors when -pedantic was added.
I think the check is invalid as it should not be checking on if -pedantic errors out when long long 
is used but check for the micompiled instead.

Closing based on my previous analysis.

I've logged a mozilla bug for this:
