stdarg.h woes

[jim]

Earlier this year '#include <stdarg.h>' was added to the
end of /$objtype/include/u.h on our local system and all
the local source changed to reflect it. Unfortunately this
makes our local source incompatible with the distribution.

I'm afraid you will have to accomodate this change yourself
as our local Plan 9 system is now so different that it's
impractical for us to post those changes. Of course, we should
warn of the problem when posting fixes if appropriate.

stdarg.h woes

I've got a problem...

I've finally got round to rebuilding my plan9
machine and created a fresh source tree with
all appropriate boddles applied.

This seems not to compile because at various
places, stuff like 'va_list' have been used
without #include<stdarg.h>.
>From memory aux/vga/errors.c, libpanel/print.c,
libpanel/pulldown.c and a couple of others
are affected. Sticking the extra line in
fixes it BTW.

Have I messed up or are the sources broken?

Also, as a general warning, RedHat Linux has
a bug in the scsi drivers which stops it
getting at the last two sectors on some drives.
Mine's a Quantum Fireball 1280. This has
interesting effects when you use linux to
transfer your plan9 IDE drive onto a scsi
drive...
At least I can be smug about keeping a text
copy of the partition map.

Thanks,
