From: Bob Subject: ignore most of my last... To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Date: Mon, 10 Apr 1995 16:55:55 -0500 (CDT) why does it seem that no matter how much time you spend on a problem, it isn't until 5 minutes after you ask for help that you find an answer on your own? actually, i don't even remember if this should technically work, but here's what i did: class zb : public db{ ... struct fstruct *node; ... } struct fstruct is define in "class db" which _is_ defined in an include earlier on. changing it to: class zb : public db{ ... struct db::fstruct *node; ... } fixes this segmentation fault. i don't remember if you should be able to reference a structure defined in an inherited class or not, but if the compiler doesn't support this, i would think it would generate an error rather than a segmentation violation. would this be a bug in gcc or djgpp? oh, and i found the functions i was looking for. i guess i just really needed to know what the libraries are because libpc.a or libpc_p.a don't tell me much. is there a listing of this sort somewhere? have a good one, robert hollinger -- Robert Hollinger <-------------------------------------> 4B Chaucer Ln. > \ www- http://www.xnet.com/~bob / < Disclaimer: Streamwood, IL 60107 > \/\/ bob AT xnet DOT com \/\/ < 708-483-9391 <------------------------------------->I don't know her!
