Re: [Bug-GnuCOBOL] runtime module libcob/fileio.c not compilable with VBISAM

Actually on a 64 but system 'long long' is also a 64 but value.

On a 32 bit system 'long' would be 32 bits but 'long long' is needed to get a 64 bit value.

Hi Ron,

 

After downloading the vbisam2, and a small correction in vbisam.h, it works fine.

 

The required correction:

In the age of 64 bit processors the definition

#define        vbisam_off_t    long long

has to be changed to a simple long

#define        vbisam_off_t    long

 

I see the note

#define VBISAM_USE_LONG_LONG    /* Note hack for now */

but an using an int could be insufficient.

 

Many thanks for your hint and best regards

   Harald

The GnuCOBOL README should say:

 

  o VBISAM - ISAM file handler (libvbisam) 2.0 or later

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbisam/

 

    VBISAM is distributed under GNU Lesser General Public License.

 

If you go to that link and Click on  'Files' you can find the vbisam2 version which is needed for GnuCOBOL.

Hi,

 

I downloaded VBISAM, like mentioned in README, from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbisam/

 

After a configure –with-vbisam the subsequent make failed with an error msg

that during the link process the symbol isfullclose wasn’t available.

 

After adding in libcob/fileio.c near line 135 the definition for isfullclose:

#ifdef  WITH_VBISAM

#include <vbisam.h>

#define isfullclose(x)  isclose (x)

…

The error msg went and I got a running COBOL compiler the ISAM support.

cobc -version:

With my best regards
