| illegal variable name error upon login |
|
2007-07-14 15:51:42 |
Hello list,
I'm getting this error, but I don't know what causes it.
If I login (csh), the message "Illegal variable
name" is printed.

I trussed it. The end looks like this:

and in fact, if I remove .cshrc, the error is gone.
if I switch to /bin/sh or ksh, the error is gone aswell.
Any ideas ?

Michael has filed a PR:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?nu
mber=36650
The problem seems to be that in the latest change of csh the
private
type 'bool', which is
an int, was replaced by the _Bool type from stdbool.
However, the 'bool'
type is used in csh to store small integers and not just
boolean values.
Zafer.

I've given up on trying to make csh play nice with
<stdbool.h>, and
renamed 'bool' to 'cshbool' everywhere. This should fix
PR/36650.
