Hi all,

I'm using the C cross compiler on linux and I found a strange and
annoying bug all the time it kinda messed up with the variable names
and I had to put (int) and other parenthesis in order to avoid those
bugs. The they appeared completely in an arbitrary fashion with no
defined pattern so far. I had to type a line and try to compile...

I was about to ditch this freaking compiler when I found the culprit:
the coprep doesn't like any indentation at all. The solution was
adding a small preprocessor before the C preprocessor.

So you change the cc file into:

echo "Preprocess.."
sed 's/^[ \t]*//' $1 > $name.ns
coprep $name.ns > $name.m
[ $? = 0 ] || exit 1
rm $name.ns

The sed 's/^[ \t]*//' $1 > $name.ns will strip all leading spaces and
tabs and the coprep will happily preprocess your C code.

Now I can keep coding in peace...
