RE: [ft-devel] A few problems i've found in the latest code from cvs

[Oran Agra]

Hi,
Regarding the compilation error in ft2demos, it happens with the latest source 
from CVS (I've just verified that again).

Here's the relevant part of common.c, the error happens in the #else meaning 
__STDC__ is not defined.
The strange thing is that this is not the first occurrence of that pattern in 
that file, and I don’t know why it doesn’t fail on the first one.

  extern int
#ifdef __STDC__
  utf8_next( const char** pcursor,
             const char*  end )
#else
  utf8_next( pcursor, end )
    const char** pcursor,
    const char*  end;
#endif
  {

Fixed in CVS, thanks.

I think I've fixed this a week ago in the CVS.  Are you using the
current CVS?  I've found some other problems if compiling with a C++
compiler too.

Fixed, thanks.  Note that the `design' documents are not up to date.
For example, they are referring to the `autohint' module which has
been replaced with `autofit'.
