Compiling mysql on HP

[Chris Trown]

     Hello again.

     My success at getting mysql Perl modules to compile is 0.  I've tried
gcc 2.7.2.3, gcc 2.8.1 and egcs 1.1.1.  I've recompiled perl so many times, I
know the questions by heart.  I can't get it to pass it's tests.  I can't past
the "Unresolved symbol: __udivdi3" problem.  Monty's suggestion didn't help.

     Past readers will remember that using HP's CC compiler gets us nowhere.
Using HP's compiler, it bombs thus:

CC: "./../include/global.h", line 513: warning: "bool" is a future reserved word (215)
CC: "sql_string.h", line 30: warning: size not used (117)
CC: "sql_string.h", line 141: sorry, not implemented: cannot expand inline function bool
String::append(char ) with statement after "return" (2070)

     Here is the piece of code:

  inline bool append(char chr)
  {
    if (str_length < Alloced_length)
    {
      Ptr[str_length++]=chr;
    }
    else
    {
      if (realloc(str_length+1))
        return 1;
      Ptr[str_length++]=chr;
    }
    return 0;
  }

     I am not a C++ programmer.  Is there any way that this can be rewritten
to make it more acceptable for the compiler?

    Anyone, please?

Chris...
