Applied, thanks.  I see Keir applied your ctype fix too.

Applied, thanks.

I improved your commit message to:

   libxl: fix build on platforms where openpty's parameters are not const.
    
    Such as NetBSD. Fixes this build error:
    
        ....

Please try and make the summary line contain some useful info, it's all
you see in the default "hg log" etc.

Ian.

The Linux openpty(3) manpage also notes that the const was only added
there in glibc 2.8. I note that CentOS 5 has 2.5 so this would
presumably also happen on some old, but still supported, Linux distros.

I've tested this on both NetBSD and Debian, and it fixes the problem, 
without introducing new ones. It's strange because these are BSD 
functions, but Linux implementation change the parameters...

Yes, you are right. It's my fault. It should have read the manpage. It states 
this clearly, too.

The correct way to discover what the right #include is is not to go on
a wild goose chase through headers.  It is to read appropriate
documentation, such as SuSv3:
  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/signal.h.html
Every function or symbol that's in SuS has next to its description a
statement of what header file(s) are needed.

It's not just "portable", it is not broken.  The NetBSD developers
would be quite entitled to make <sys/signal.h> go away, or not contain
these definitions any more.  I doubt they promise not to.

Ian.

On NetBSD, the SIG* defines are in <sys/signal.h> which is just
included by <signal.h>
On NetBSD, both works.

But you're right, the portable fix is the prefered one.

<sys/signal.h> is not a standard header file.  It should be <signal.h>.

Adding
 #include <signal.h>
would be correct.

Ian.

Hi!

Attached patch makes libxl compile on NetBSD.
<sys/signal.h> is needed to get definition for SIGPIPE and SIG_IGN.

The patch is fine, although I don't generally approve of comments like
the one you've included:

+#include <signal.h> /* for SIGKILL */

I would just say:

+#include <signal.h>

and you can mention SIGKILL in the commit message.


There is an argument that all of these headers should be included in
one place by libxl_internal.h.

Ian.
