gwr: while you're in there, it might be nice to get rid of all the #ifdef soup for K&R compilers

I think we can safely require a compiler no older than 37 years at this point :)

(it won't get rid of it entirely, but would at least reduce the complexity a bit)

+1

thats really good idea:)

there's already so many layers of #ifdefs in some of those places that I find it very hard to follow what's actually going on

jbk: while I'm in where? which #ifdef soup? There are so many choices:)

the xdr.h stuff

Ah.

and yes, we have a plethora of choices there :)

Which #idefs in there do you think we could do without?

I only see the old K&R declarations. Everything else looks like it's needed.

that's what I mean.. the old K&R stuff...

So __STDC__. Ok.

yeah... (and I just meant if you felt like it while messing with xdr.h)

there are other files with similar things I'm sure, but that could be done separately

Oh, we have a LOT of __STDC__ stuff in uts/common/rpc. I think I'll leave that for a project to do "just that".

Is that everwhere in our headers?

Looks like mostly there.

gwr: my only comment -- and it took me ages just now to try to find and remember -- is places like cpuvar.h seem to imply they use __STDC__ to hide from genassym

(which I'm not even sure works?!)

Thanks. I guess we'll find out when we get around to removing not __STDC__ stuff.

but you'll break building with the bundled K&R-only SunOS 4 compiler that was barely only useful for rebuilding the kernel!

(...and not a single tear will be shed)

:D
