00:39:10 <jbk> gwr: while you're in there, it might be nice to get rid of all the #ifdef soup for K&R compilers
00:39:27 <jbk> I think we can safely require a compiler no older than 37 years at this point :)
00:39:55 <jbk> (it won't get rid of it entirely, but would at least reduce the complexity a bit)
08:15:05 <tsoome> +1 
08:15:19 <tsoome> thats really good idea:)
15:48:32 <jbk> 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
15:52:40 <gwr> jbk: while I'm in where? which #ifdef soup?  There are so many choices:)
15:52:47 <jbk> the xdr.h stuff
15:52:52 <gwr> Ah.
15:53:25 <jbk> and yes, we have a plethora of choices there :)
15:58:16 <gwr> Which #idefs in there do you think we could do without?
15:58:58 <gwr> I only see the old K&R declarations.  Everything else looks like it's needed.
15:59:40 <jbk> that's what I mean.. the old K&R stuff...
16:00:15 <gwr> So __STDC__. Ok.
16:00:53 <jbk> yeah... (and I just meant if you felt like it while messing with xdr.h)
16:01:34 <jbk> there are other files with similar things I'm sure, but that could be done separately
16:12:47 <gwr> 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".
16:13:05 <gwr> Is that everwhere in our headers?
16:14:09 <gwr> Looks like mostly there.
20:22:53 <richlowe> 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
20:23:06 <richlowe> (which I'm not even sure works?!)
20:23:51 <gwr> Thanks.  I guess we'll find out when we get around to removing not __STDC__  stuff.
20:35:16 <alanc> but you'll break building with the bundled K&R-only SunOS 4 compiler that was barely only useful for rebuilding the kernel!
20:36:19 <alanc> (...and not a single tear will be shed)
