Description

When building xinetd on Haiku I am getting lots of warnings for sys/resource.h line 17 empty declaration. This was with gcc2, may or may not show up with gcc4, as I haven't checked that yet.

The line has changed since alpha 2 (hrev34214), but it was a typedef back then still is now. I'm not even sure what "empty declaration" is supposed to mean. The exact error message as well as a pre-processed version of the compiled file might help.

I tracked this down in xinetd, it seems that the generated config.h had the offending line in it:

#define rlim_t long long

I've updated the .bep file to dnl the line in configure.in that was adding this in. I'm assuming this to be an invalid ticket? Or is there a better way to write the typedef so that it works even if rlim_t gets redef'd as long long?

Replying to scottmc:

The header could theoretically #ifdef everything it defines, but that's just silly. The header is supposed to typedef that type and whoever tries to redefine it does something unportable.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
