Re: IRIX compilation problem (Apparent Solution)

[chiayl]

The compilation problem exists for HPUX (using HP Ansi C compiler) as well.

I changed the static inline functions to macro and compilation works:
#define xislower(c) (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') 
#define xisupper(c) (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') 
#define xisalpha(c) (xislower(c) || xisupper(c)) 
#define xisdigit(c) (c >= '0' && c <= '9') 
#define xisalnum(c) (xisalpha(c) || xisdigit(c)) 

alloca() wasn't much of a problem for HP C compiler except it gives a warning:
cc: "package.c", line 285: warning 527: Integral value implicitly converted to 
pointer in assignment.
cc: "package.c", line 286: warning 527: Integral value implicitly converted to 
pointer in assignment.

Just for info. :)
