Compiler information

For compilers that require strict ANSI, define AR_STRICT_ANSI in your code. Use notQual in place of not to reference the member of the structures of type ARQualifierStruct. This resolves compile errors such as the following:

Line xxx from ar.h   "Alternative token 'not' may not be
used as an identifier" struct ARQualifierStruct *not;

The following code from ar.h shows how you can use AR_STRICT_ANSI:

   typedef struct ARQualifierStruct
   {
     unsigned int                     operation;
     union
      {
        ARAndOrStruct                 andor;
         #ifndef AR_STRICT_ANSI
           struct ARQualifierStruct  *not;
         #else
           struct ARQualifierStruct  *notQual;
         #endif
        ARRelOpStruct                *relOp;
        ARInternalId                  fieldId;
      } u;
   }  ARQualifierStruct;

Linux and UNIX

Compile your program using an ANSI standard C or C++ compiler.

Windows

Compile your program with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 (version 7.1).

Configure the compiler as follows:

  • Structure member alignment: 8 bytes (default)
  • Code generation: Multithreaded DLL.
    Do not use Debug Multithreaded DLL (/MD).
    Where other included libraries cause conflicts, add /nodefaultlib:"MSVCRTD" to the project options to avoid using the Debug C run-time library.
    If your program references this library at run time, memory management errors occur when memory pointers are referenced by both the Debug and Release C run-time libraries.
