From: cs720 Administrator To: Neil Booth Cc: cs720@unh.edu, , , Subject: Re: preprocessor/7988: POSIX broken in gcc Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 15:00:20 -0400 (EDT) Neil: I wasn't sure how to categorize it -- _POSIX_C_SOURCE is a preprocessor symbol and it is used to select header files, define other symbols and structures, etc. Defining it selects one set of headers, etc. while not defining it selects another set. Perhaps the error is in the organization of the header files themselves, and the use of _POSIX_C_SOURCE within those header files. I doubt it is in the preprocessor itself, but what other category would be better?
