compilation error: AIX headers define TRUE and FALSE
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

AIX header file <sys/types.h> defines TRUE and FALSE when _ALL_SOURCE is
defined, leading to the following compiler error with gcc.
Attached patch does fix this problem, (requires regeneration of src/asn1-parse.c).
I don't think renaming "TRUE" to something like "ksbaTRUE" instead would make
more sense.
Thank you!

The grammar is quite old and should anyway adjusted to modern standard. There
is a separately mainatained toke table which does not make much sense, given
that that it is possible to re-use the bison generated token table. I see what
I can do.

Fixed with commit ab3fe5d.
