Re: compiling error (bug in apply.c)

[Mark Wedel <>]

 It is a bug in the code.  treasure is also a structure name.

Apparantly, gcc gives precendence the the object *treasure, where
as your compiler gives precedence to the structure.  Here
is a patch:

--- apply.c     1994/07/09 03:07:59

      return apply_container (op, tmp);
  
    case TREASURE: {
!     object *treasure;
      if(QUERY_FLAG(tmp, FLAG_UNPAID)) {
        draw_info(op,"You should pay for it first.");
        break;
--- 912,918 ----
      return apply_container (op, tmp);
  
    case TREASURE: {
!     object *treas;
      if(QUERY_FLAG(tmp, FLAG_UNPAID)) {
        draw_info(op,"You should pay for it first.");
        break;

!     treasure = tmp->inv;
!     if(treasure==NULL) {
        draw_info(op,"The chest was empty.");
        decrease_ob(tmp);
        return 1;
      }
      do {
!       remove_ob(treasure);
!       draw_find(op,treasure);
!       treasure->x=op->x,treasure->y=op->y;
  
        /* Changed (0.91.2) - always drop treasure to floor (needed for
         * trap code
         */
!       insert_ob_in_map(treasure,op->map);
!     } while ((treasure=tmp->inv)!=NULL);
      decrease_ob(tmp);
  
      /* Done to re-stack map with player on top? */

!     } while ((treas=tmp->inv)!=NULL);
      decrease_ob(tmp);

 You will probably need to use patch -l on this.
