Description Jim Wise 2011-02-03 14:35:55 UTC 
glib/tests/mem-overflow.c contains:

  typedef struct
  {
  } Empty;

This is not valid Ansi C, and is rejected by the Sun c compiler, preventing a build of glib.

Skipping this test when compiling with the Sun c compiler, either at a file level, or within mem-overflow.c would work around the problem.

Thanks,

seems to preempt this bug...

the test is now protected by #ifdef __GNUC__
