Here are the error messages:
c:\Projects\Gambit\gambc40b11\lib_num.c(52351): fatal error C1071: unexpected end of file found in comment
I believe the problem is expressed in line 44720 of _num.c. Here's that line:
___SET_F64(___F64V2,___F64DIV(___F64V1,___F64UNBOX(___GLO(53,___G__23_ _23_bignum_2e_inexact_2d_mdigit_2d_base))))
I think what's going on is the ___F64UNBOX() is returning a string that starts with '*' so the ___F64DIV expands to a string with '/*' in it.
Here's the definition of ___F64DIV:
#define ___F64DIV(x,y)(x/y)Changing this to
#define ___F64DIV(x,y)(x/(y))... eliminates the error. This same problem occurs in two other functions:
#define ___F64INV(x)1.0/x #define ___FIXINV(x)___FIX((___FIX(1)/x))I added parens around the x's and it compiles now.
Great! I suspected something like this was going on and I'm glad you pinpointed the problem.
Isn't the invariant supposed to be that each macro is supposed to return a fully parenthesized expression, so that you should change ___F64UNBOX rather than ___F64DIV?
And what is ___FIXINV supposed to do? The only definition or use in the entire Gambit source tree of ___FIXINV is a definition in gambit.h, so I think it should just be removed from gambit.h.
