According to jay.kr...@cornell.edu on 6/16/2009 8:08 AM: > Isn't just ifdef estale around use of it sufficient? Or is there some > chance of const int or such? That misses the whole point of the gnulib errno module, which exists to guarantee that user code can assume that ESTALE is always defined, and to a useful value. In other words, the proper fix is to the gnulib errno module to work around Interix's buggy lack of ESTALE, and not in the rest of m4 code by #ifdef away the use of ESTALE. > Given that const int cannot be switched on > in C, they must all be defines and simple ifdef suffices and is fully > portable no need for configury? Right? Huh? There's no restriction against switching on const int in C. > I don't/won'tlikely have the paperwork, And that's the very reason why gnulib support for Interix is so lacking - no one seems to be serious enough about the platform to offer maintenance support. Even being willing to run regression tests and post autobuild results on a regular basis, which does not require copyright assignment, would go a long way to helping us track whether gnulib changes are still portable to Interix. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
