I've only tested with these two compilers.

I am also seeing this error with gcc on Clear Linux

$ gcc --version
gcc (Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture) 9.1.1 20190529 gcc-9-branch@271737

It can be reproduced exactly as above

Answer 2 · 2019-06-04T06:07:39.000Z

Unfortunately, this looks like a bug in dns.c. The project can be found here: https://github.com/wahern/dns

Answer 3 · 2019-06-07T03:13:30.000Z

Yes, unfortunately it seems to be pretty widespread throughout the library, and I don't know enough about C macros to fix it :(

Answer 4 · 2019-07-18T12:31:19.000Z

@eerimoq @tmlbl I added #197 to address this issue. Please take a look.

Compilation also fails at the same point when using:
gcc (GCC) 9.2.1 20190827 (Red Hat 9.2.1-1)

Answer 6 · 2020-02-01T07:34:34.000Z

I confirm the same issue on my Linux Manjaro computer, running GCC 9.2.0:

It builds with clang, for people who come here with the same issue. Just do a make CC=clang and you're good.

with clang --version

Answer 9 · 2021-01-07T15:36:36.000Z

@ilitzroth It worked for me:

clang version 11.0.0
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /bin

Perhaps try these steps:

git clone https://github.com/sustrik/libdill
cd libdill
mkdir build
cd build
CC=clang cmake ..
make

same issue here, why gcc-9/10/11 are all failing?
