- The xlc compiler is absolutely recalcitrant about accepting
- anything like " Window foo = NULL". But the X11 headers
- are full of stuff like "XtWindowOfObject(object) != NULL"
- which of course won't compile with the native compiler. We
- have to sprinkle our code with crap like "#ifdef IBM #undef XtIsRealized"
- and fix it.
-
- If IBM has a better compiler (I can't believe they compiled X with
- xlc) can a customer get it? Or does xlc have an undocumented
- "Stop behaving like turbo pascal" mode?
