It is implementation-defined whether null terminators, pointers, and/or any alignment bytes are included in this total" looks very tricky to determine for sure.. ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please, does anybody know why it is hard-coded to this specific value, and what should we do about this? (Ifdef it away from userspace includes, possibly?) Normally I would consider this just a slight nuisance, but it causes quite many of LSB tests to fail; it seems we will have to get rid of it somehow. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is indeed #define'd in but this file is not included by AFAICS, only by which is AFAIK a purely historic interface too. According to http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2288 comment #7, this test will be removed from LSB, so can we close this bug too, or are any changes still required? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
