System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 5
- saying we should define _XOPEN_SOURCE=500 to get POSIX.1c prototypes
+ saying we should define _XOPEN_SOURCE=500 to get POSIX.1c prototypes,
but apparently other systems (namely FreeBSD) don't agree.
- Furthermore X/Open has since 2004 "System Interfaces, Issue 6"
- that dictates _XOPEN_SOURCE=600, but Solaris checks for 500.
- So, let's define 500 for solaris only.
+
+ On a newer Solaris 10, the above file recognizes also _XOPEN_SOURCE=600.
+ Furthermore, it tests that if a program requires older standard
+ (_XOPEN_SOURCE<600 or _POSIX_C_SOURCE<200112L) it cannot be
+ run on a new compiler (that defines _STDC_C99) and issues an #error.
+ It's also an #error if a program requires new standard (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600
+ or _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L) and a compiler does not define _STDC_C99.
+
+ To add more to this mess, Sun Studio C compiler defines _STDC_C99 while
+ C++ compiler does not!
+
+ So, in a desperate attempt to get correct prototypes for both
+ C and C++ code, we define either _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 or _XOPEN_SOURCE=500
+ depending on the compiler's announced C standard support.
+
+ Cleaner solutions are welcome.
