[lug] [OT] g++ error message: declared with an exception specification?

[Scott Herod]

Hello,

Sorry of the OT post, but this is about the best group of people for it.

I'm trying to write a bash built-in and compile it with g++.  This is with
bash 2-05a source from the GNU folk.  I'm getting errors like:

../GNU/bash-2.05a/general.h:187: `sh_intfunc_t' declared with an exception
specification

where line 187 reads:

typedef int sh_intfunc_t __P((int));

and __P is defined with:

#if !defined (__P)
#  if defined (__STDC__) || defined (__GNUC__) || defined (__cplusplus)
#    define __P(protos) protos
#  else
#    define __P(protos) ()
#  endif
#endif

A test file (below) compiles just fine.

======================================================================
#if !defined (__P)
#  if defined (__STDC__) || defined (__GNUC__) || defined (__cplusplus)
#    define __P(protos) protos
#  else
#    define __P(protos) ()
#  endif
#endif


typedef int   spam_is_good __P((int));

typedef char* spuds_are_bad ();
typedef int   spam_spuds (int);
====================================================================

Can anyone suggest a way for me to see what the compiler sees with the
typedef lines?  I suspect that __P must be redefined somewhere but can't
find where.

Thanks,

Scott
