Working with source for 4.90, attempting to compile with MSVC++ 6.0 with service pack 6.0 installed, the compiler tosses the following errors:

I seem to recall getting this a year or so ago but can't remember how I fixed it. I note that:


#if defined COMPILE_PCRE8
#define REAL_PCRE real_pcre
#elif defined COMPILE_PCRE16
#define REAL_PCRE real_pcre16
#elif defined COMPILE_PCRE32
#define REAL_PCRE real_pcre32
#endif


Try changing "real_pcre" to "REAL_PCRE", see if that helps.

That didn't work. It still throws the exact same errors on all the same lines.

I'm using Visual C++ 6.0.

It should compile OK.

Any further ideas for this? I don't know what I could be doing wrong here. I've checked and doublechecked all the instructions in the Mushclient source package.

Nothing looks really relevant.

The only thing I can think of is the precompiled headers. Select all the PCRE files in the IDE and make sure that you have "Not using precompiled headers" selected.

Those are all set up as they should be. :/ It confuses the hell out of me that files straight from the package are conflicting with /themselves/. Is there anything else that could be relevant here? I'm using MSVC++ 6.0 with Service Pack 6 on 64-bit Windows 7.

I'm confused too because that is the compiler I have, and if you have the 4.90 source that is what I am using.

Can you confirm that in Utilities.cpp around line 2590 you have this exact code?


typedef unsigned char uschar;

int
njg_get_first_set(const pcre *code, const char *stringname, const int *ovector)
{
const real_pcre *re = (const real_pcre *)code;
int entrysize;
char *first, *last;
uschar *entry;
if ((re->options & (PCRE_DUPNAMES | PCRE_JCHANGED)) == 0)
  return pcre_get_stringnumber(code, stringname);
entrysize = pcre_get_stringtable_entries(code, stringname, &first, &last);
if (entrysize <= 0) return entrysize;
for (entry = (uschar *)first; entry <= (uschar *)last; entry += entrysize)
  {
  int n = (entry[0] << 8) + entry[1];
  if (ovector[n*2] >= 0) return n;
  }
return (first[0] << 8) + first[1];
}

Also did you do this step in the "readme" for the PCRE part of the project?

Quote:


(Note that config.h is part of the git repository)

4. Rename pcre_chartables.c.dist as pcre_chartables.c
Rename pcre.h.generic as pcre.h

Check and doublecheck. The compiler isn't even producing an error within utilities.cpp itself, it's a conflict between pcre.h and pcre_internal.h, both of which come from the PCRE package. I don't understand how with the same compiler, using the same sources and project files that this could be going on.

It is here:


[...]mushclient\Utilities.cpp(2590) : error C2027: use of undefined type 'real_pcre'
        [...]mushclient\pcre\pcre.h(309) : see declaration of 'real_pcre'


It says it is undefined, and then points to pcre.h line 309:


struct real_pcre8_or_16;                 /* declaration; the definition is private  */


OK, so that is a forwards declaration. However the real declaration seems to be at line 2309 of pcre_internal.h.


typedef struct real_pcre8_or_16 {
  pcre_uint32 magic_number;
  pcre_uint32 size;               /* Total that was malloced */
  pcre_uint32 options;            /* Public options */
  pcre_uint16 flags;              /* Private flags */
  pcre_uint16 max_lookbehind;     /* Longest lookbehind (characters) */
  pcre_uint16 top_bracket;        /* Highest numbered group */
  pcre_uint16 top_backref;        /* Highest numbered back reference */
  pcre_uint16 first_char;         /* Starting character */
  pcre_uint16 req_char;           /* This character must be seen */
  pcre_uint16 name_table_offset;  /* Offset to name table that follows */
  pcre_uint16 name_entry_size;    /* Size of any name items */
  pcre_uint16 name_count;         /* Number of name items */
  pcre_uint16 ref_count;          /* Reference count */
  const pcre_uint8 *tables;       /* Pointer to tables or NULL for std */
  const pcre_uint8 *nullpad;      /* NULL padding */
} real_pcre8_or_16;

Try setting this define in project properties, if you haven't already:



For each of the .c file in the PCRE part, as highlighted (there would be a few more underneath).
