ast-open.2012-08-24 compiles OK. note that some applications _may_ fail if they do something like #define fchdir() or #define chdir() ... these functions or cpp macros MUST redirect to |ast_fchdir()| and |ast_chdir()| since the |*at()| emulation "remembers" the last fd used to do some optimisations. If |ast_fchdir()| and |ast_chdir()| are bypassed then this "remembered" fd is likely "stale" and might cause subtle failures. This is not a bug. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list ast-developers@research.att.com https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
