Thanks Rich.
I thought that BSDWAIT was defined in one of the standard headers.
You are right about where BSDWAIT is defined, but now I am back to how
should I write the "ifdef" ?
I could use* !(defined(__ANDROID__) || (defined(__linux__)&&
!defined(__GLIBC__)))* in the place of "if !defined(__ANDROID__)", but
then things might go wrong for uclibc and other libcs.
If I understand you correctly, all new implementations should use int
instead of union, so above ifdef should be a workable solution.
#if defined(_BSD) || (defined(IRIS4D) && __STDC__) || defined(__lucid) ||
defined(__linux__) || defined(__GNU__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
*# if !defined(__ANDROID__)*
# define BSDWAIT
# endif
#endif /* _BSD || (IRIS4D && __STDC__) || __lucid || glibc */
Regards
Paul
