esqlc compilation problem

I am trying to compile my program, written in esqlc on an Hpux box. The c compiler works fine with c programs, but on esqlc programs it returns this error: Is there a problem with my code or the configuration of mu esqlc??? thanks $ esql helloec.ec (Bundled) cc: "/opt/informix/incl/esql/locator.h", line 111: error 1705:Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.

(Bundled) cc: "/opt/informix/incl/esql/locator.h", line 117: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature. here is line 111 - 117: from locator.h: 111 int (*loc_open)(struct tag_loc_t *loc, int flag, int bsize); 112 /* USER: open function */ 113 int (*loc_close)(struct tag_loc_t *loc); 114 /* USER: close function*/ 115 int (*loc_read)(struct tag_loc_t *loc, char *buffer, int buflen); 116 /* USER: read function */ 117 int (*loc_write)(struct tag_loc_t *loc, char *buffer, int buflen); 118 /* USER: write function */

Using parameter prototypes in a function pointer declaration is an ANSI C paradigm. The HP C compiler, by default, only compiles K&R format C. To enable the ANSI format parser add the -Ae flag to your compile command lines or edit the esql script so that it is always included by default on all of the lines near the bottom that begin "exec $CC".

Art, The Bundled CC on HP-UX does not accept the -Ae option, and cannot be persuaded to accept prototypes - period. On the odd occasions where people thought that it did, it turned out that they were using the HP ANSI C compiler without realizing it. You're correct about -Ae for the HP ANSI C Compiler, of course. Digiwyrm, If you've only got the bundled C compiler and can't get hold of the HP ANSI C compiler, then you can compile the GNU C Compiler with it -- but it isn't completely straight-forward. I've documented how to do it in the DBD::Informix 1.00.PC1 product; see the hpux-gcc file (or there abouts) in the Notes sub-directory. You need half a dozen other bits of GNU software to get the job done. > Digiwyrm wrote: > > > > I am trying to compile my program, written in esqlc on an Hpux box.

Yeah I missed the "(Bundled)" note in the error messages below and updated Digiwyrm about that problem myself this AM. Art S.
