Having just wasted several days trying to get a simple Pro*C program to
run without barfing - and finding the problem was due to a name clash between
our identifiers and Oracles - does anyone have a definitive list of names
to avoid?



One of our name clashes was listed in the Appendix of reserved words (connect)
the other (uname) wasn't! Since the only warning we got of the problem was
when the executable crashed with 'Segmentation fault' or 'Invalid instruction'
it took a bit of tracking down.



Please mail answers as well as posting to board.
