Which edition of the standard specifies <sys/file.h>? It's not in my
copy of Issue 6 (SUSv3) or Issue 7 (SUSv4).
I'd say it's the application code that is in error. It should not be
defining _XOPEN_SOURCE and then including (implementation private)
header files which are not defined in the relevant standard.
Do we seriously need to start writing our headers like:
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#ifndef __BSD_VISIBLE
#error "This is a non-standard header, but you have specified strict standard
compliance."
#endif
? This probably goes along with my fix to <sys/cdefs.h> which does:
#ifdef __BSD_VISIBLE
#error "Application defined preprocessor macro in the implementation
namespace."
#endif
