Dear All,

I have just done a compilation of OpenFOAM-1.3 on an older Suse-9.1 system and the issue I've found is so amusing that I wanted to share it (somebody may hit it in the future). :-)

The compilation fails in global.C with the message like

/usr/include/demangle.h:476: error: expected ',' of '...' before typename

Looking at the offending header, the function declaration says:

extern int
cplus_demangle_fill_builtin_type (struct demangle_component *fill,
const char *typename);

i.e. "typename" is used as a name of the parameter, which totally confuses the C++ compiler!


The fix is easy: edit error.C and around the include statement re-define the name locally, i.e.


#define typename HrvsTypeName
#include <demangle>
#undef typename


and all is well.
