Subject: environ: Fix wrong autoconf test result in C++ mode
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 02:31:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1704558.HPmjlsdhla@omega> (raw)
The autoconf test
checking if environ is properly declared...
produces a wrong result (yes instead of no) in C++ mode, with g++ version 6
or newer and with clang++.
The reason is this error message:
g++:
error: '<anonymous struct> environ', declared using anonymous type, is used but never defined
clang++:
error: variable 'environ' is used but not defined in this translation unit, and cannot be defined in any other translation unit because its type does not have linkage
This patch fixes it.

environ: Fix wrong autoconf test result in C++ mode.
* m4/environ.m4 (gt_CHECK_VAR_DECL): Use a typedef'ed type, not an
anonymous type.
