Weird error in RPC source file collection. [message #10554] Tue, 16 December 1997 00:00

Has anyone out there ever simply followed the directions
in $IDL_DIR/external/rpc/README.TXT (copying the
contents of that directory to somewhere, and then
execute "make" in that directory) ?

Although building the idlrpc and libidl_rpc.so files
is not normally required (they're available in the
$IDL_DIR/bin/bin.<OS_NAME>), I can't help but to
be puzzled by an apparent error in "idl_rpc_obsolete.c":
In all the calls to IDL_RPCStoreScalar there is an "&"
missing in front of the last argument, which results
in a compiler error on my system (Digital Unix).

Doing a search-and-replace (8 occurences!) in
idl_rpc_obsolete.c of

"type_s);" => "&type_s);"

fixes the problem, and everything appears to
compile ok...

Puzzled - does anyone have any Insights to
offer :-)
