Hi,
I compiled tidy30Nov99 for SunOS4 with gcc-2.8.1 and encountered some
minor problems, some due to this old OS and some 'nitpicking'.
config.c: realloc seems to be a problem for this machine, as it fails
on the unused local static (without a warning to the user). My C is
rusty so the attached patch config.c-realloc might be lame. But it
works :-)
localize.c: redefines ACCESS_URL, which is defined in include file
platform.h
platform.h: defines ACCESS_URL to http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL, which
should have (IMHO) a trailing slash. ISTR some w3c recommendation,
that directories should be mentioned as directories in URLs, saving
at least a redirection
SUPPORT_GETPWNAM on this OS leads to including <pwd.h> and
<sys/types.h>, which defines uint (for System V compat). This gives
me a warning on the redefinition of uint in platform.h. I can ignore
these, but maybe some other symbol than __USE_MISC needs to be
checked (as ulong is not defined in <sys/types.h>).
Other questions and comments:
- I ran tidy on one of my files and again on its output. There it had
inserted empty <p>'s and complaind about it. Another tidy run had no
more errors. Can tidy clean things up in one run, or does it work
like me, when cleaning up a messy desk with the storage space of a
second desk :-)? The error occured at a (misused) <P> at the end of
a pragraph before <HR>. The paragraph was <P>-blocked by tiny, but
an additional <P></P> was inserted.
- tidy reports HTML version 3.2 for some files, but in the cleaned
version the doctype is set to 2.0. Why?
- tidy needs some user feedback in error situations. It took me pretty
long to spot a typo in the config file, because tiny does not
complain about unknown options. I know it's not finished, but I
patched my version so that it catches these errors.
- someone should alter the bottom idividual part of the welcome
message to the mailing list, since it seems to be copied from
another of your w3c-lists :-)
May the source be with you
Jan
