I am trying to debug a C program using the gcc compiler. Do not ask me
what the version is, because the compiler does not respond to:
gcc -version
nor
gcc --version
with anything but insults to my intelligence. I have a function
definition using my famous portable.h file, but the first occurrence of
a macro expansion was declared a syntax error with syntax not
particularly different from many successful compiles of mailbin with
MicroSoft C, Turbo C, and Unix cc. Do not be an arragant bastard and
tell me to reduce the code to trash, because that is just a tactic of
the competition to defeat the GNU project from getting any work done.
I trying in vain to use the preprocessor to tell me what C code had bad
syntax, but it played an ill game of makingg line-number definitions in
code that would fail a fairly-played C compiler, and persisted in giving
me the line numbers from the original file when I compiled the program
in two steps, first the preprocessor and then the compiler. This
behavior persisted even after I used the -gdwarf1 option. Please call
me paranoid when I say this is suspected of intentional tampering.
