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

Ah ah, the error is the comma after the last pcursor declaration, it should be a semi-column.
I applaud Werner's attempt to make the ft2demos code build with really really old compilers, but I wonder if this is needed :-)

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'.
