Subject: GCC + TRACER = Computer hang. Why ?
Status: O


Could anyone explain why ?
I am a new user of gcc, when I use gcc to compile  test.c, my
computer hang. My computer is 386 with 387 and 8M ram. The following
lines are file test.c , config.sys and  autoexec.bat.

----  test.c ----

main()
{
  printf("test\n");
}

----  config.sys ----

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 1024
DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 1024 /E
FILES=32
BUFFERS=20
BREAK=ON

----  autoexec.bat ----

@ECHO OFF
@VERIFY ON
@PROMPT $p$g
@PATH C:\DOS;C:\PE2;C:\ET;C:\ET2;C:\TRACER;C:\DJ\BIN
@\TRACER\TRACER
@TODDY > NUL
@\TOOL\A4MOUSE > NUL
@CLS
@DIR

After investigating. I find,  if I delete line @\TRACER\TRACER ( computer
virus tracer) in autoexec.bat and reboot. Gcc work well.
