Smaug and Gcc4.0

For various reasons i now find myself using Fedora Core 4.0 and compiling with Gcc4.0. I was very suprised to see that there were no major errors that i couldnt fix in 2 seconds.

The only warnings that i have left have to do with the QUICKLINK macro, the warning is

warning: comparisons like X<=Y<=Z do have their mathematical meaning.

Now this warning seems to have no effect on the game, and i do remember reading that Samson removed this macro from AFK1.75, falling short of downloading his code and looking at what he did, I was wondering if anyone else has taking the plunge into Gcc4.0 and what fixes or problems you have encountered.

Peace all.

SmaugFUSS has, FUSS has no errors or warnings in 4.0, so check that source out compared to yours.

That's actually the QUICKMATCH macro and the fix is referenced here: http://www.smaugmuds.org/index.php?a=topic&t=1653

Thanks Samson, i think next time i post i will be at home, looking at my puter, looking at the exact warning and not be drunk.

Actually i owe you a bigger thanks Samson, not only did i follow the link, but spent the most of today going through the pages and pages of bugs and adding many of them into my SmaugFUSS 1.4a based mud.

One that i think will be most helpfull is the DISPOSE/STRFREE macro fixes, i had been using non standard macros for those for a long time, i think i got them from mudmagic, anyhow, a lot of the crashes we have had always, in the backtraces listed the DISPOSE macro.

We never had any trouble with these until we moved to a differnet server, never put 2 and 2 together until today. This might just have fixed a few lingering issues i have had.

To anyone else out there with a mud derived from an older FUSS package, or heavens forbid stock 1.4a, i tottaly recommend going through the forums on the smaugfuss site and patching up your code.

Peace and thanks again.
