FYI: largefile support conflicts with procfs on Solaris

2014-12-13 Thread Joel Brobecker
Hello! Not really a bug report, IMO, but one of the GDB Maintainers thought it would be worth mentioning this to you: Both BFD and GDB use a number of procfs routines, and those routines are apparently incompatible with largefile support on 32bit solaris (sparc32, x86). Ref: https://www.sourcewa

inconsistency in EILSEQ definition...

2013-01-02 Thread Joel Brobecker
Hello, A few weeks ago, I reported a problem to gnulib where the errno module would still be missing the EILSEQ macro on systems that do not define it (in this particular case: LynxOS 178): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-10/msg00088.html The problem was solved by defining EILSE

[PATCH] Make errno.h define EILSEQ on old LynxOS systems.

2012-10-25 Thread Joel Brobecker
Hello, In trying to compile mbrtowc.c on LynxOS 178, I got an error because EILSEQ is not defined. Indeed, the system itself is too old, and is missing that definition. Initially, I tried to find a way that would be completely generic: Check errno.h and do nothing if found. Otherwise, check wchar

2012-09-07 Thread Joel Brobecker
Hello, I was trying to cross-compile mbrtowc for a system where EILSEQ is not defined (C99). The first attempt I made was to import the errno module, and see if it would define it for me. But no luck. I am unsure about the best way to fix this issue. The simplest approach, would probably to chang

Hello, and Happy New Year :-). I am trying to use gnulib's update-copyright script to update all of GDB's files. It's working quite beautifully, and it's quite fast too. I only have a couple of issues: - C files: In GDB, the style for comments is to avoid the '*' at the start of new files.
