What I am experimenting with is porting a program, which I didn't write,
from UNIX to Plan 9. The source is already littered with #if's and
#ifdef's
for various environments. Because there are #if's, I wanted to use the
ANSI preprocessor. In order to avoid adding to the conditional compile
nightmare, I thought I would make Plan 9 versions of the appropriate
header
files and set up the include path to find the Plan 9 versions instead of
the UNIX ones.
As has been mentioned in several emails, this is not the Plan 9 style.
Since one of the main goals of my experimentation is to learn the Plan 9
way of doing things, I would like to hear any recommendations regarding
this. One recommendation mentioned in another email was to use bind to
alias the old include file to the Plan 9 version. Is this the preferred
way? Are there other, more desirable ways to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kim
