[Dieter Büttner]

Hello,

maybe the more experienced mercury user can help:
I am using mercury 0.11.1_beta_2004_02_12-1, installed via rpm on SuSE 
professional 9.0.

1. Is it true, that with Mercury I don't need to pay attention for programming 
tail-recursive, because the compiler will rearrange the code and make it 
tail-recursive?  

2. Sometimes , when compiling via mmake  --use-subdirs I get a lot of warnings
"dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"
What does it mean? What was wrong with the code?

3. To debug, I put the following statement in a file Mmakefile: 
GRADEFLAGS=--debug, then mmake --use-subdirs prog.depend,
then mmake --use-subdirs prog. But the last step provides the message 
"cannot find -ltermcap". But termcap is installed!

Would be great, if someone can help.

Thank you
Dieter
