Guys. I'm not asking it because I have nothing else to do. I ask it for a reason. Since neither me nor many other bbox hackers will ever use FreeBSD, sometime in 2020 we will wonder "hmm, in which year mempcpy() was added for FreeBSD compat? Is it still needed?" and therefore TODAY it's important to document it thoroughly, so that when in the future someone comes and says "WTF, FreeBSD *has* this function for years, why do you have this cruft?", we know why. Why you can't help me with this by simply looking at your version of FreeBSD and letting me know it? As of now, I resorted to *guessing* that it's probably FreeBSD 9.x (by looking at their website, and deciding that maybe you aren't yet on 10.x because it's very new). But I should not be forced to guess. You could just answer a simple question. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
