Re: stdint module on SGI

[Mark D. Baushke]

Hi Bruno,

The CVS forked version is getting closer to the GNULIB version.
(See below).

Okay. The CVS sources need a further bit of
adjustment for both SGI IRIX 5.3 and BSDI BSD/OS
4.2. See the patch below.

Yes. It exists, but is useless for any c89
compilation. Also, since SGI makes #error just a
warning, autoconf is unable to figure out that the
file should never be included.

Yes. Larry suggests that the '|| !@HAVE_INTTYPES_H@' 
may not be necessary, but I have a dim
recollection that IRIX 4.0 may not yet have had an
<inttypes.h> file, so that is was I was trying to
protect. I suspect that any recent vintage of SGI
box will have an <inttypes.h> and that this will
do the right thing in all cases.

Yes, and a conforming C99 <inttypes.h> file is
forced to #include <stdint.h>. In fact, the SGI
IRIX 5.3 c99 compiler does have <inttypes.h> do
this. When c89 is used, the file is not included,
but all of the needed types are defined. Why they
did it in that manner is beyond my understanding.

        * stdint_.h: Try harder to find a definition of WCHAR_MIN/MAX.
        Combine BSD/OS stuff with OpenBSD/SGI and use the correct
        preprocessor symbol.


2006-06-23  Mark D. Baushke  <mdb@gnu.org>

        * stdint_.h: Both BSD/OS 4.2 and SGI-cc IRIX 5.3 seem to also need
        <sys/types.h> included.
