Package: gcc-4.3
Version: 4.3.2-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3/include/stddef.h


When certain combinations of headers precede <stddef.h>, ptrdiff_t
does not get defined.  The particular sequence that triggered it for
me was <wchar.h>, <wctype.h>, <stddef.h> but that might not be the
only one.

$ cat tmp1.c
#include        <wchar.h>
#include        <wctype.h>
#include        <stddef.h>

ptrdiff_t x = 1;
$ gcc -c tmp1.c
tmp1.c:5: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'x'

The problem doesn't happen if <wchar.h> and <wctype.h> are the other way
round.

$ cat tmp2.c
#include        <wctype.h>
#include        <wchar.h>
#include        <stddef.h>

ptrdiff_t x = 1;
$ gcc -c tmp2.c
