[bug-gawk] Miscellaneous odds and ends

[Hermann Peifer]

Hi again,

Below some smaller issues and observations. Regards, Hermann


(A)

I wonder if it could make sense to add this into awklib/.gitignore, for 
the benefit of Mac users (among the bug reporters ;-), so that git 
status would'nt show "unknown" files:

# Directories
grcat.dSYM
pwcat.dSYM

Maybe make distclean should also take care of these directories.


(B)

On latest Mac OS X, latest Acrobat Reader and gawk.pdf generated from 
trunk: Acrobat Reader always crashes whenever I click on a link in the 
neighbourhood of the word "SYMTAB", both in text and index. Any other of 
the 100+ links that I tried works fine.

Maybe "SYMTAB" is some sort of reserved word for "symbol table", 
somewhere down the road, as the Reader's crash report has some 
mentioning of:

com.apple.DebugSymbols (106 - 106) 
<FC70F4C9-B2A6-352F-9563-6C085E9DDDB8> 
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DebugSymbols.framework/Versions/A/DebugSymbols

I could well be wrong, though. Another thought was that the issue had to 
do with commit 8beb41f95ad7c273eab9c0494ffb0acd7ace2800. But most likely 
this is a wrong thought either, as other links just work fine.

Eventually I concluded that it is an Acrobat Reader issue as it 
disappears when opening the very same pdf file by using Mac's builtin 
Preview.app.

(C, for Andrew)

Should the gawkextlib perhaps stop copying the xmlgawk wrapper into my 
bin directory, as there is no xgawk executable anymore in the first place?
