Re: segfault in glib-mkenums

[Max Horn <max quendi de>]

A work around for the crash in glib-mkenums, that I believe should 
work on other OSes, too, and will even speed up glib-mkenums a bit is 
to change the three occurences of

    while (m@/\*([^*]|\*[^/*])*\**$ x) {
	my $new;
	defined ($new = <>) || die "Unmatched comment in $ARGV";
	$_ .= $new;
    }

to

    while (m@/\*([^*]|\*[^/*])*\**$ x) {
	my $new;
	defined ($new = <>) || die "Unmatched comment in $ARGV";
	next unless ($new =~ m \*/$@);
	$_ .= $new;
    }


This will skip intermediate lines in multi-line comments. Unless 
there is a flaw with this that I overlooked, it would be cool if it 
could be added to glib-mkenums in CVS! Thanks.


Now the next error I get is this:
[localhost:foreign/gtk+/gtk] maxhorn% make

&& (cmp -s xgen-gtbh gtktypebuiltins.h || cp xgen-gtbh gtktypebuiltins.h) \

&& echo timestamp > stamp-gtktypebuiltins.h

 context is
                  sub ("\).*", "", >>>  tmp_var2) <<< ;
make: *** [stamp-gtktypebuiltins.h] Error 2


Well, I guess I should install gawk now :)
