Re: Issues while building ncurses 6.2 using Visual Studio

[Anonymous Maarten]

Hello again!

For lib_gen.c, I think that can only be solved by providing an alternate
means of generating the file which interprets the header files directly
without using the C preprocessor output (not simple).

Can you tell me what the output should look like?

Currently, the functions in lib_gen.c look like:

NCURSES_EXPORT(int) addch (const chtype z)
{
   T((T_CALLED("addch(%s)"), _tracechtype2(0,z)));
   returnCode(waddch(stdscr,(z)));
}

Visual C, using current master, transform these functions into:
(with #undef NCURSES_NOMACROS)

int __cdecl waddch(stdscr,(const chtype z))
{
   ;
   return waddch(stdscr,(z));
}

Which is indeed an infinite recursive function.

With my change, this becomes:
(with #define NCURSES_NOMACROS)

 int __cdecl addch (const chtype z)
{
   ;
   return waddch(stdscr,(z));
}

I don't think this is an infinite recursive function.

What do you think?

Kind regards

Maarten
