Yes, this would be better, but I don't know what macro test to use to test for Solaris. Oracle documents defined(sun), but that doesn't work on the Solaris versions we tested, and looking/searching illumos headers I didn't find anything obvious. The __sun define is ours, and would work for us, but upstream couldn't take it. >> Thanks, but this is starting to feel like watching a whack-a-mole >> played while blindfolded.
