On AIX 5.1, the compiler shows these warnings:
"glob.c", line 666.47: 1506-280 (E) Function argument assignment between types
"struct stat*" and "struct stat64*" is not allowed.
"glob.c", line 1016.42: 1506-280 (E) Function argument assignment between types
"struct stat*" and "struct stat64*" is not allowed.
"glob.c", line 1066.43: 1506-280 (E) Function argument assignment between types
"struct stat*" and "struct stat64*" is not allowed.
This warning sounds more dangerous than it is. Nevertheless, it's good to
silence it.
What's happening, is that config.h defines
#define _LARGE_FILES 1
which instructs sys/stat.h to enable LFS variants of the structs and functions.
In particular it defines 'struct stat64' and then does
#define stat stat64
Now, when glob.c is compiled, glob-libc.h defines function types that use
'struct stat' (using just a forward declaration). Then later <sys/stat.h>
is included, and further references to 'stat' macroexpand to 'stat64'.
So the fix is simply to make sure the
#define stat stat64
is in place before glob-libc.h starts dealing with it. I'm applying this:
