I do not think that these macros are obvious. I think that I was there when these macros were first implemented at 1987: I talked with the programmer who was paid by the Correios to port everything from the mainframe to the Apple II. I was a stenchy kid with his father, that asked the employee what he was doing. When I asked about other possibilities of endianness, the programmer answered about the PDP. The programmer explained about BSD being a flavor of Unix. That talk changed my life. > However, please don't use _BSD_SOURCE. =C2=A0The newlib/Cygwin headers are > not set up like the Linux headers and the big bunch of definitions from > /usr/include/features.h are not available so far. =C2=A0The _BSD_SOURCE > define is not honored or set anywhere right now. > > What you can do is to use _POSIX_SOURCE. =C2=A0So, if you're going to use > #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE instead, and if you're creating a ChangeLog entry > in the correct ChangeLog entry format (see the ChangeLog file), then > I guess we can check it in. Would you agree with: #if defined _BSD_SOURCE || ! defined _POSIX_SOURCE ? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
