- Hello,
-
- I'am far from happy of the status of C header files on SunOS 4.1.x. I know it is not
- GCC maintainer responsability but they are quite ugly, far from ansi C and POSIX
- confirmant. I would like to ansify a quite big software (an X.400 X11 based UA,
- several hundred Klines). Protoize is quite helpfull while not suited to the handling of a
- software disributed in a set of directory.
-
- The problem is that with the -g option (create definition for implicitly called
- external functions) a lot of specifier for standard library function are created
- even is the correct include files are specified. Unfortunately, the compilation choke
- on some of these extra declarations.
-
- I came to my question: Does someone achieve to obtain a correct (POSIX and ANSI compliant )
- set of files for gcc ? I tried fixinclude but it can't generate some of the information that should
- in standard include files. The Sun's unbundled C headers are also often violating
- the standards. Until this, we will have to stay with old C.
-
- By the way GCC is a fabulous compiler.
