Created by David Nebinger (dnebinger@synertech.highmark.com) on Wednesday, April 15, 1998 7:43:33 AM PDT Additional Details : HP's compiler **** out on line 844 of file ns/cmd/xfe/icons/mkicons.c, and issues the error: cc: line 844: internal error 5172: Backend Assert ** Cause of inconsistency unknown. (5172) Looking at line 844, there are a series of trigraphs linked together that I think is causing the problem. By taking a less sophisticated approach (code follows below), the compile completed without complaint. Code replacement follows: /* Create a stream and decode the image. */ #ifndef HPUX stream = IL_NewStream (FO_PRESENT, (strstr (file, ".gif") ? (void *) IL_GIF : strstr (file, ".jpg") ? (void *) IL_JPEG : strstr (file, ".jpeg") ? (void *) IL_JPEG : strstr (file, ".xbm") ? (void *) IL_XBM : (void *) IL_GIF), url, &cx); #else { void* il_type_tmp=(void*)IL_GIF; if ((strstr(file,".jpg"))||(strstr(file,".jpeg"))) il_type_tmp=(void*)IL_JPEG; else if (strstr(file,".xbm")) il_type_tmp=(void*)IL_XBM; stream=IL_NewStream(FO_PRESENT,il_type_tmp,url,&cx); } #endif

What version of HP-UX and which compiler were you using? I'd like to see this fail and test the fix before checking this in, we've been building on HP-UX Ok for a while.

This bug has been closed, certainly with the 4th September 1998 release of Mozilla. Not only has the fix been incorporated, but mkicons.c is now actually mkicons.cpp :-)

marking verified against old code base
