I'm trying to port the linux-based mcproxy (
https://github.com/mcproxy/mcproxy) to FreeBSD.
While trying to use <netinet6/ip6_mroute.h> instead of <linux/mroute6.h> I
encountered the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:90:39: error: use of undeclared
identifier 'NBBY'
if_mask ifs_bits[howmany(IF_SETSIZE, NIFBITS)];
^
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:83:36: note: expanded from macro
'NIFBITS'
#define NIFBITS (sizeof(if_mask) * NBBY) /* bits per mask */
^
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:86:33: note: expanded from macro
'howmany'
#define howmany(x, y) (((x) + ((y) - 1)) / (y))
^
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:90:39: error: use of undeclared
identifier 'NBBY'
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:83:36: note: expanded from macro
'NIFBITS'
#define NIFBITS (sizeof(if_mask) * NBBY) /* bits per mask */
^
/usr/include/netinet6/ip6_mroute.h:86:45: note: expanded from macro
'howmany'
#define howmany(x, y) (((x) + ((y) - 1)) / (y))
^
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The error results from the missing definition of NBBY or rather the missing
include of <sys/param.h> where NBBY is defined.
My expectation would be that header files should be self-sufficient and as
such <netinet6/ip6_mroute.h> should include <sys/param.h> on its own.
What is the prefered way to work with header files in FreeBSD? Or is it a
bug in the header file?
Best regards,
Victor
