Re: [Bug-apl] Fix for some OSX compilation issues

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

thanks. I made some changes rot readline to be more portable.
Including the Function problem.

It is really not nice to typedef a fundamental name like "Function" in a library
because you can't un-typedef it (can you?). In my readline version you could
prevent that by #defining_FUNCTION_DEF but in your version that seems
not to work.

Also having different return types on different platforms (like void vs. int for
the hook functions) is not the most elegant way. My love for readline grows
every day.

I hope my changes solved these issues, please let me know if not. SVN 388.

Here's a patch that fixes the readline bug that happens when readline is disabled. It also addresses the casing issue with SQL.apl.

Now, the file is called sql.apl in the source, but SQL.apl in the wslib5 directory.

It's still not possible to build on OSX with readline enabled. This is because readline defines a type called Function which clashes with a GNU APL class of the same name. Either C++ namespaces or a rename of the class to, say, APLFunction would solve this.

Patch is attached.
