X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Cygwin Mailing List Subject: MS_types and addr_t name polution Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm porting a small program to Cygwin. One of the typedefs in the program is for a symbol named addr_t. Since this is defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h, there is a redefinition conflict. This (and a number of other symbols) are defined when __MS_types_ is defined, which, in turn, is defined whenever __CYGWIN__, _WIN32 or __MSDOS__ is defined. I don't see any use of addr_t in /usr/include. Is there a reason for defining addr_t and the other symbols? -- Michael Eager eager@mvista.com 408-328-8426 MontaVista Software, Inc. 1237 E.
