Subject: [PATCH] Do not define _XOPEN_SOURCE on MacOSX as it is too restricting there
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 11:39:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061221103938.GA7055@fiberbit.xs4all.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <caf068570612201735o776e01a8he2e9ab90fc2ee4f@mail.gmail.com>

Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE on Darwin always leads to a restricted set of
available functions and symbols. This can not be cured by adding extra
defines in any way. So there really is only the choice between _not_
defining this symbol on Mac OS X or restricting our usage of functions
and symbols to the POSIX sets that are in term implied by _XOPEN_SOURCE.
The first seems better.

Note the last three lines from this following literal code snippet in
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h from the Apple Darwin sources:

 * By default newly complied code will actually get the same symbols
 * that the old code did.  Defining any of _APPLE_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE,
 * or _POSIX_C_SOURCE will give you the new symbols.  Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE
 * or _POSIX_C_SOURCE also restricts the avilable symbols to a subset of
 * Apple's APIs.

We want our symbols "avilable" so lets not use _XOPEN_SOURCE on Darwin!

The preferred way of checking specific Apple specific issues is by using
the __APPLE__ predefined macro.

The extra define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED does only affect some headers
(like the /usr/include/curses.h header) and can stay.

Patch from Terje Sten Bjerkseth, only added a comment.
