Hello all,
I am trying to port a large program written on a SUN to linux using gpc. So far it goes well, but I run into an error. type T_PtrStr_t = ^TZ_Str_t; compiles perfectly, while type T_PtrStr_t = ^T_Str_t; generates a warning: warning: identifiers should not start with an underscore parse error before `;'
I have added the transcription of the session using an as small as possible program. For clarity, the difference between the two source files is the removal of the three Z's: two in the type declaration and one in the var declaration.
Can someone point out what is wrong with the compilation of the second program?
Thanks in advance,

I can not for sure. Since BOTH are works just fine here. Very comprehensive bug-report. Just one VITAL for any bug-report thing is missing: what compiler you are using ? Version I mean (I'm using 19991030 based on gcc 2.95.2).
Thanks in advance,

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs gpc version 19990118, based on egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
Seems I should upgrade.
