I expect the problem is what happens when you do something like this: Does this test where FOO is defined, or BAR? Or maybe it tests neither and just evaluates 0 - 0? My guess is that the C standardi
Hi Paul, Thanks, the patch is good. Actually when writing this code, I wondered whether I could use '#define FOO ... defined BAR ...'. Although ISO C 99 6.10.1.(3) explicitly says that it's undefined
Well, rather a missfeature of the older platforms and their compilers to not have that builtin _alloca Our code always check for __TANDEM && _TNS_E_TARGET, I guess that is for a good reason, so I'd
I see the previous arguments. What rubs though is that on darwin we're stuck with the compiled in table that defines "*" as "UTF-8". Yet, that's not true on any other platform. For VMS there's no def
Re: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-03/msg00154.html I agree. I, too, recently ran into this problem, in my case, on VMS. On Alpha (and IA64, both 64-bit systems), the result is ann
Hi Paul, So what? It is no maintenance burden, because "gnulib-tool --update" does all a maintainer needs. For src/util.c you are right. But in src/diff3.c and src/sdiff.c, popen() is invoked, which
Yes, it's not easy to understand the various stdioext operations. Here is a tentative port to Plan9. Before you can assume that it is usable for GNU m4 or GNU coreutils, you need to run the testsuite
[Dropping coreutils from CC] Good point. But I don't think it makes a difference for Gnulib: - When we say that gnulib support a platform, it means that its users should be able to install new versio
That isn't quite right for 5.2, in the sense that IBM still supports AIX 5.2 and 5.3 workload partitions under AIX 7. These are VMs designed to run old application environments that can't be upgraded
A lot of the FILE related stuff changed in Minix 3.2.0 with the import of our new NetBSD based libc and NetBSD based includes. It might be more beneficial to target Minix 3.2.0 which will be released
There are some compilation errors also in the stdioext modules: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 -Wall -g -O2 -MT fbufmode.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/fbufmode.Tpo -c -o fbufmode.o fbu
Hmm, what are the practical implications of this? Sun stopped shipping Solaris 2.6 ten years ago, and stopped supporting it five years ago; if the original supplier no longer supports the OS, that's
I had a hard time trying to understand which code is being used on which platform. Here's a proposed patch for clarification: 2011-02-17 Bruno Haible <address@hidden> getloadavg: Add comments about p
I think I'd prefer a getloadavg that always sets errno when it fails; that's simpler and regular, and it's what getloadavg does on GNU/Linux and on Solaris. Here's an addition to the proposed patch,
Hi Bruno, Done. Uh, too bad. Sorry about that. I changed to my Red Hat email address for this discussion. Well, as for the wctype functions you see how easy it is to convert to wint_t and use that as
