[QUERY 21.4] Auto detecting integer types and avoid using Motif for cygwin

QUERY Volker> Hi Here is a patch for auto detecting integer types. The Volker> cygwin version has the same problems as FreeBSD/NetBSD. Can you explain exactly what the problem is? It seems clear from the comments that the intent of that code is to override certain definitions from inttypes.h to make them Berkeley db compatible. (Possibly old versions of that header didn't contain them but that seems kind of odd.) However, on Linux and Mac OS X I can't find any db.h that would cause any problem; they all just use the types as defined in inttypes.h. Volker> Also included is a patch which avoids using Motif for Volker> cygwin. This is needed because the latest gcc-3.4.4 for Volker> cygwin seems to produce an executable which runs fine but Volker> coredumps on every exit which is very annoying. Er, what makes you think it's GCC-related? There is a whole set of cross-platform Motif bugs that have this effect. Are you sure it's not one of them? I'm just as happy to get rid of Motif wherever possible, though. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
