What, if not "char" should isspace() take??? isspace() takes an int whose value must be in the range 0 to UCHAR_MAX, or EOF. This looks like a bug in the macro implementation of isspace(), to me; it should be casting the parameter to int so it will behave in the same way as the function implementation. Until a fix appears, your options are: - to fix the bug in your installation by casting the parameter to an int in the macro definition of isspace() in ctype.h - to force the call to use the function implementation of isspace() by putting #undef isspace before you use it, or by putting parenthesis around the name in the call (isspace)(*s) - or to explicitly cast the parameter to an int. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
