Subject: posix_spawn, posix_spawnp: Fix build error on Minix 3.3
Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 17:40:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2560310.fPQ7BPjyPB@omega> (raw)
Building a current m4 snapshot on Minix 3.3, there are compilation errors,
such as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In file included from ../../lib/execute.c:72:
./spawn.h:727:19: error: conflicting types for 'posix_spawn'
_GL_FUNCDECL_SYS (posix_spawn, int,
^
./time.h:168:24: note: expanded from macro '_GL_FUNCDECL_SYS'
_GL_EXTERN_C rettype func parameters_and_attributes
^
/usr/include/spawn.h:41:5: note: previous declaration is here
int posix_spawn(pid_t * __restrict, const char * __restrict,
^
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch fixes it.

posix_spawn, posix_spawnp: Fix build error on Minix 3.3.
* m4/posix_spawn.m4 (gl_POSIX_SPAWN_BODY): If posix_spawn does not exist
but is declared, set REPLACE_POSIX_SPAWN.
* doc/posix-functions/posix_spawn.texi: Update platforms list.
* doc/posix-functions/posix_spawnp.texi: Likewise.
