I can only draw the conclusion that your las.c,v in 7.2 is corrupt. In that case one wonders where else similar corruption might have occurred.
Well, my conversion script should be able to spot it as long as it affects a version on the mainline, since it cross-checks all the repositories.
How does the 1.119 revision look in the ,v file? It's like this on wyrm:
All the diffs in the ,v file are identical to the 7.4 version up to and including version 1.230, so it appears that the corruption is in a higher, post-split, version. The "pop_type" line which should not be there is introduced by this diff:
1.244 log @Fixed bug in fix_type_field() for function calls. The bug was triggered by function calls in enum assignments (eg negative literal s). @ text @d8 1 a8 1 RCSID("$Id: las.c,v 1.243 2002/11/19 14:00:14 mast Exp $"); d3086 2 d3098 3 a3098 1 s = pop_type(); @
Although it is of course possible that this diff is correct, and that the problem is in a version betweem 1.230 and 1.244 which was supposed to remove the line again.
