Libfloss is not used (yet?), but has some hooks for this problem, the compiler wrapper script it contains uses -DSOCKLEN_T=socklen_t.
Other than that socklen_t is typedef'ed in <sys/socket.h> (and as an int) but, for some strange and probably historical reason, not used anywhere, in particular not in those socket funktions with use a size_t instead (which is typedefe'ed to an unsigned integer) My 'fix' so far: diff -u ./gllib/sys_socket.in.h.orig ./gllib/sys_socket.in.h --- ./gllib/sys_socket.in.h.orig 2010-11-30 14:19:12.000000000 -0600 +++ ./gllib/sys_socket.in.h 2010-12-23 04:43:53.000000000 -0600 @@ -165,6 +165,10 @@ #endif +#ifdef __TANDEM +#define socklen_t size_t +#endif + #if @HAVE_WINSOCK2_H@ /* Re-define FD_ISSET to avoid a WSA call while we are not using -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Haible [mailto:br...@clisp.org] Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 3:05 PM To: Joachim Schmitz Cc: bug-gnulib@gnu.org Subject: Re: socket functions on HP-NonStop Joachim Schmitz wrote: > Incompatible prototype for inet_ntop > source='test-getaddrinfo.c' object='test-getaddrinfo.o' libtool=no > DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh ./../build-aux/depcomp cc > -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. > -I../gllib -I./../gllib -I/usr/local/include -g -Wnowarn -c -o > test-getaddrinfo.o test-getaddrinfo.c > extern const char *inet_ntop (int af, const void *restrict src, > ^ > "/usr/local/Floss/gnulib/testdir-posix/gltests/./../gllib/arpa/inet.h", line > 129: error(235): > declaration is incompatible with > "const char *inet_ntop(int, const void *, char *, size_t)" > (declared > at line 421 of "/usr/include/netdb.h") > > and connect, bind, sendto, setsockopt (socklen_t vs. size_t), 'fixed' > it in gllib/sys_socket.in.h (brute force, "#define socklen_t size_t") > source='test-sys_select-c++.cc' object='test-sys_select-c++.o' > libtool=no DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh ./../build-aux/depcomp > c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 -I. -I. -I.. > -I./.. -I../gllib -I./../gllib -I/usr/local/include -Wnowarn -c -o > test-sys_select-c++.o test-sys_select-c++.cc > _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (connect, int, > ^ > "/usr/local/Floss/gnulib/testdir-posix/gltests/../gllib/sys/socket.h", line > 560: error(232): > a value of type "extern "C" int (*)(int, const sockaddr *, size_t)" > cannot be used to initialize an entity of type > "int (*)(int, const sockaddr *, socklen_t)" > > _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (bind, int, > ^ > "/usr/local/Floss/gnulib/testdir-posix/gltests/../gllib/sys/socket.h", line > 615: error(232): > a value of type "extern "C" int (*)(int, const sockaddr *, size_t)" > cannot be used to initialize an entity of type > "int (*)(int, const sockaddr *, socklen_t)" > > _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (sendto, ssize_t, > ^ > "/usr/local/Floss/gnulib/testdir-posix/gltests/../gllib/sys/socket.h", line > 837: error(232): > a value of type "extern "C" ssize_t (*)(int, const void *, > size_t, > int, const sockaddr *, size_t)" cannot be used to initialize > an > entity of type "ssize_t (*)(int, const void *, size_t, int, > const > sockaddr *, socklen_t)" > > _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (setsockopt, int, (int fd, int level, int optname, > ^ > "/usr/local/Floss/gnulib/testdir-posix/gltests/../gllib/sys/socket.h", line > 865: error(232): > a value of type > "extern "C" int (*)(int, int, int, const void *, size_t)" > cannot be > used to initialize an entity of type > "int (*)(int, int, int, const void *, socklen_t)" Is socklen_t already defined in the system or libfloss includes on this system? Or does its definition come from gnulib (either from config.h or gnulib's sys/socket.h replacement)? Bruno
