- Subject: RE: libraries
-
- thank julian,
- point well taken, and certainly we should be headed in that
- direction. Gcc Tos/miNT of course are totally re-coinciled as far as the
- headers go. i suspect that TCC compatibility should not be such a big deal,
- and would involve maybe a few more symbols in <compiler.h> ( i am assuming
- that TCC already had all the ansi C headers as we have in gcc libs, and that
- the two are almost totally compatible, and what we need to recoincile are
- various tos specific things. i have never seen the TCC headers so i may be
- ttoally wrong). in any case, since i dont have TCC, nor do i have any
- intentions of buying it, some ones going to have to volunteer.

- no problem here. in case you need a solution before we add it to
- the libs:
- (file)->_flag |= _IOBIN;

- i think you misunderstood: what he was suggesting was that the
- diffs he send will not contain CR's. the files you maintain stiff can
- contain either style, it does not matter. (hint: "patch -l" will handle both
- styles). also see bill shrokas dos-mode.el if you use emacs on both the St
- and Unix ends, it helps.

- Ansi defines name spaces.

-
- we made a pass a long time ago to get most ansi equvalent files as
- close to the standard as possible, but i agree we need to do a cleanup pass
- again, as some files have a tendency to gather crud (unistd.h for instance
- has been abused).

- cheers,
