nested functions (cont)

[Piers O'Hanlon <P dot OHanlon at cs dot ucl dot ac dot uk>]

Hi again,

Sorry last time I omitted to send info on my system: I am running gcc-2.95.2 
on a Ultra-30 running Solaris 2.7 (see below). I have also attached the output 
from gcc -g -v --save-temps config.nested.c in a tar.gz file. And the core 
file when it crashes - it's not that big. (appologies for those email boxes I 
block)

Original message:

I was wondering if anyone had any idea about this problem with nested C 
functions - the docs seem to say they're supported but when I've been trying 
to configure/compile libobjects-0.1.19 for Objective C the nested objects test 
(below) program core dumps at line 13:
doit(nested);
- it's not clear why.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,


Piers O'Hanlon
