------- Additional Comments From phartman@axsone.com  2003-10-30 15:11 -------
I download Xalan-C_1_6-AIX51_600.tar.gz and tried compiling the source code on 
AIX 5.1 32 bit machine using c++
 
/usr/local/bin/c++ -v
Reading specs from /opt/freeware/GNUPro/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/2.9-a
ix51-020209/specs
gcc version 2.9-aix51-020209
 
And I am getting the follwoing errors:
 
c++ -O -DNDEBUG      -fno-elide-constructors -qthreaded -DAIX -D_THREAD_SAFE -
I/stlport  -c -I/rdbms/xalan/c/src -I/rdbms/xerces/src/ -
I/rdbms/xerces/include/xercesc -I/rdbms/xerces/include/  -
o /rdbms/xalan/c/obj/DoubleSupport.o /rdbms/xalan/c/src/xalanc/PlatformSupport/D
oubleSupport.cpp

unary `&'
gmake: *** [/rdbms/xalan/c/obj/DoubleSupport.o] Error 1
 
Line 96 of the code looks like this:
#if defined(_AIX)
const DoubleSupport::NumberUnion    DoubleSupport::s_NaN = { DBL_QNAN };
#else
....
#endif
 
I can seem to find DBL_QNAN in any header file.
 
Line 125 looks like this:
125  const DoubleSupport::NumberUnion        DoubleSupport::s_negativeZero =
{ modf(-7.0, &theDummy) };
 
Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this ?
