These compiler error messages have passed into the legend.

[text] These are some of the error messages produced by Apples MPW C compiler. These are all real. If you must know I was bored one afternoon and decompiled the String resources for the compiler. The compiler is 324k in size so these are just an excerpt I hope. Im not sure where I stand on the copyright issue. Tony Cunningham String literal too long 1 let you have 512 characters thats 3 more than ANSI said I should ..And the lord said lo there shall only be case or default labels inside a switch statement a typedef name was a complete surprise to me at this point in your program Volatile and Register are not miscible You cant modify a constant float upstream win an argument with the IRS or satisfy this compiler This struct already has a perfectly good definition type in cast must be scalar ANSI 3.3.4 page 39 lines 1011 I know you dont care Im just trying to annoy you Cant cast a void type to type void because the ANSI spec. says so thats why Huh cant go mucking with a void we already did this function This label is the target of a goto from outside of the block containing this label AND this block has an automatic variable with an initializer AND your window wasnt wide enough to read this whole error message Call me paranoid but finding inside this comment makes me suspicious Too many errors on one line make fewer Symbol table full fatal heap error please go buy a RAM upgrade from your local Apple dealer
