whats wrong about this save.c
.
.

779 if (ORG_RACE(ch) == 0)
780 ORG_RACE(ch) = race_lookup("human");
781 if (RACE(ch) == 0)
782 RACE(ch) = race_lookup("human");

.
1237 {
1238 RACE(ch) = race_lookup(fread_string(fp));
1239 ORG_RACE(ch) = RACE(ch);
1240 fMatch = TRUE;
1241 break;
1242 }

1533 {
1534 RACE(pet) = race_lookup(fread_string(fp));

Your macros expand to something that the compiler does not like. Post your macro defines for RACE and such else we can't really help you much.

#define RACE(ch) (ch->race)
#define ORG_RACE(ch) (IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->pIndexData->race : ch->pcdata->race)


is this u are asking? orrr


/* race table */
#define RACE_NONE (ee - 1)

Not sure why exactly but it doesn't like this expansion..

#define ORG_RACE(ch) (IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->pIndexData->race : ch->pcdata->race)

Expanding to…

(IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->pIndexData->race : ch->pcdata->race) = race_lookup("human");

You could change those lines to

if (IS_NPC(ch))
  ch->pIndexData->race = race_lookup("human");
else
  ch->pcdata->race = race_lookup("human");

but I'm not totally sure why you'd need to.

Also might try:

#define ORG_RACE(ch) ((IS_NPC(ch) ? ch->pIndexData->race : ch->pcdata->race))

Because the conditional (a ? b : c) results in an expression result, not a place where you can assign variables (i.e., lvalue). You can't use it to assign to different things conditionally on the left-hand side; you can only use it to produce different expression results. Your later 'if' statement is what you would need to assign to a different place based on some condition.

But at one point that code must have been valid. He's trying to compile an old codebase that was (i'm assuming) distributed working.

gcc used to be much more lax about what could be on the left-hand side of assignments; there's a common bug in SMAUG for example having to do with casting exits or something and new compilers getting unhappy. It's quite possible that they used to support that (incorrectly, be it deliberately or accidentally), and now have gotten stricter.

Little off topic but that type of macro use never appealed to me.

I think that might be partly why they made it go away! :tongue: It's pretty nasty, I agree.

here is the code that i ame triying to combine gcc 4x. but it is too hard for me
any one can help me

I don't understand. You're trying to get it to compile in gcc 4?

i want to play this code in my own computer first ….
but this code write for gcc 3.x…..
my ubuntu 9.10 use gcc 4.x so there are too much error ,,, i have to correct them than i can play ..

sory for my english is not good enoug.

thanks for helping again and again

What is your native language?

Maybe you can just install gcc3?

how can install gcc 3.x;
my ubuntu 9.10 use gcc 4.x. only :cry:


i ame speaking Turkish

There should be a package called gcc3 (or maybe gcc3.4 or gcc3.3) in the package list.

my ubuntu 9.10 using only gcc 4.x,,
:(

You could look for a code base that compiles in gcc4 without changes.

Ah, it would appear that they got rid of it. I don't have it on my Ubuntu 9.10 either. You can try using gcc3 on Cygwin or AndLinux, under Windows, if you have those available. Or, install Debian or an older Ubuntu into a VM or something.


EDIT: Or…… what Runter said. Probably easier.

can u give me a good code… for my gcc 4.x …
i want to play myself
and i can upgrate what ever i wand

new class new skill new area new social etc. easly

which mud u advice …
