But maybe me posting the whole bit of code will help...

void handle_error(array|object trace, void|object o) { if(mixed x=catch {

object ferr = Stdio.File("C:/EMAGE/sys/data/log/run.c", "wca+");

string sWrite = describe_backtrace(trace);

int nLine; string sFunc; string sFile; string sParams; string sOut = "";

if(o) { sOut += "Error occured in: " + object_name(o) + "\n"; }

foreach(sWrite/"\n", string s) { if(sscanf(s, "%s:%d:%*s->%s(%s", sFile, nLine, sFunc, sParams) == 5) { string sLine = (string)nLine; string sTemp = " ";

sLine = sTemp[0 .. sizeof(sTemp) - sizeof(sLine)] + sLine + " "; sTemp = " "; sFunc = sFunc + sTemp[0 .. sizeof(sTemp) - sizeof(sFunc)];

sOut += sLine + sFunc + sFile + " (" + sParams + ")\n"; } else { if(s != "") { sOut += s + "\t" + ctime(time()); } } }

sOut += "\n";

ferr->Write(sOut); }) { // One reason for this might be too little stack space, which // easily can occur for "out of stack" errors. It should help to // tune up the STACK_MARGIN values in interpret.c then. werror("Error in handle_error in master object:\n"); if(catch { catch { if (catch { string msg = [string]x[0]; werror("%s", msg); array bt = [array]x[1]; werror("%O\n", bt); }) { werror("%O\n", x); } }; werror("Original error:\n" "%O\n", trace); }) { werror("sprintf() failed to write error.\n"); } } }

now this is inside a modified master.pike. The code has worked on previous versions of pike. So not sure why it does not work now.

I don't think there is a Write method in Stdio.File. It doesn't work either way for me. The only way I can get it to compile is with Write. If I change it to the way it is documented on the site as write it won't even compile. That is when I get the syntax error.

Ok, there's probably the cause of the problem. In Pike 7.4 and 7.6's default master.pike there's the following #define's:

#define write(X ...) _static_modules.files()->_stdout->write(X)

#define write(X ...) (Files()->_stdout->write(X))

(In Pike 7.7 the #define has been replaced with a variable).
