Can we settle the naming of the HAVE_* for getcwd(NULL, 0) and get_current_dir_name() with the corresponding text strings? I would like to use these configure.ac snippets whenever appropriate (and having them on one of the GNU/Hurd porting web pages). Of course a new test has to be written also for get_current_dir_name(), wouldn't be difficult. My proposal: getcwd(NULL, 0): HAVE_GLIBC_GETCWD (maybe HAVE_GNU_GETCWD as Guillem proposed) get_current_dirname(): HAVE_GNU_GETCWD or HAVE_GET_CURRENT_DIR_NAME (too long?) Of course the naming should reflect the correct development history and POSIX versions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
