Summary

0011803: Build failure: 'erase' undefined (ncurses)

Description

When building CMake on linux, linking failed due to 'erase' (ncurses) being undefined in e.g cmCursesLongMessage.cxx.

Steps To Reproduce

Compile against ncurses-5.7 (GCC 4.4.5 was used but probably not a factor).

Additional Information

The issue seems to be because 'erase' is being 'hidden' via an inline function in a header file, then #undef'd to avoid possible conflict with the STL.

However, in ncurses-5.7 the same logic appears in the ncurses.h header itself; 'erase' is #undef'sd if _cplusplus is defined; as a result it is not defined in the first place.

The problem was fixed locally by replacing the 'erase()' call in the header file Source/CursesDialog/cmCursesStandardInclude.h with its macro expansion of 'werase(stdscr)'. Possibly the same fix should be applied to 'move' (in 'curses_move') although this wasn't a problem in this specific case.

Notes
(0030229) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-11 11:09	Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
