Re: gcc-4.0.1 = nested functions are not supported on MacOSX?



I just did a test compile and it's not a warning, it's an error:

 error: nested functions are not supported on MacOSX

The new xcode 2.2's gcc 4.0.1 compiler update has apparently dropped support for nested functions. Apple's release notes for gcc do not even mention this change... :(

They were in the online read-me file:

Nested Function support: We are deprecating nested functions (a gcc extension
to C) in this release. For now, nested functions will cause a warning.

Before I downgrade to gcc 4.0, is there a command line option to re-enable nested functions?

I don't think so. But the project should still build, unless you activated treating warnings as errors.


Why were they disabled?

Because they were a GCC extension, and the GCC developers have been trying to make GCC more compliant with standards. That means deprecating GCC extensions to the supported languages.
