Hello all,
It turns out Netgraph uses a language construct that is only allowed
with GCC, but not with LLVM. According to the specs, LLVM's behaviour is
correct. It is not allowed to do this:
struct a {
struct {
int i;
char j[];
} b;
char k[20];
};
error: variable sized type 'b' must be at end of struct or class
Diane Bruce and I thought this patch should solve this issue:
http://80386.nl/pub/ng.diff
Yes, I know, the solution isn't really elegant, but I think this is the
only way to do this safely. Diane and I also compared the output of
objdump and they seem to be equivalent, except for some reordering.
Objections before I commit this to SVN?
