Message-ID: <403@vixie.UUCP> Date: Mon, 15-Dec-86 03:18:43 EST Article-I.D.: vixie.403 Posted: Mon Dec 15 03:18:43 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 16-Dec-86 21:36:53 EST Reply-To: paul@vixie.UUCP (Paul Vixie Esq) Distribution: world Organization: Vixie Enterprises, San Mateo, CA Lines: 23 I tried to compile and use multivol today. It compiled without incident, but it and testdata dump core during 'make wfile'. My debugger is hosed, and refuses to print a stack trace, so I started looking through the code. In testdata.c, I found: ... if (no_eoln = (*argv[1] == '-' && *++argv[1] == 'n')) { ... Now, since C doesn't guarantee order of evaluation, this seems blatently wrong. I don't know neccessarily that this is the cause of my problem, but if the rest of the code has errors like this, I don't want to bother trying to find the cause of the core dumps. Mission: Impossible :-), and I refuse to accept it. Is there an alternative to (or more recent version of) multivol? -- Paul A.
