Hey,

I've been using plan9ports on freebsd 4.x for a while
now, but recently updated via cvs and can't compile lib9.
4.x distributes with gcc version 2.95.4, a non-c99 compiler;
the new src/lib9/fmt/{fmtprint,fmtvprint}.c use va_copy, a c99
extension to stdarg.

Is this a problem for anyone else?

Cheers,

Sam

Yes.  I have various gcc 3.x's installed via the ports so
changed 9c to use gcc33.

We could probably add a test for pre c99 compilers in u.h
and a corresponding definition for va_copy.  The real
problem is finding the time to test it.

The real problem is the C99 standard but I'm not
going to let myself get started.

Oh, of course, but I guess we'll have to learn to
live with the demented beast.  Right now, my pet
peeve is the pthreads crud...

you're just mad because they didn't put hjdicks in C99.
