Subject: <sys/types.h> incorrectly define macro "howmany"
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 11:25:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAHpriMXnYa1Ly+c9AKk7kE4QuaxMGykJuxpFPSQmimz=GKy-Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The header file /usr/include/sys/types.h defines a macro called "howmany".
As a result, this strictly conforming program:
#include <stdio.h>
int howmany(void) {
return 42;
}
int main(void) {
printf("%d\n", howmany());
}
fails to compile with "gcc -std=c11 -pedantic" (or "-std=c99", or "std=c90").
