Darwin 9. It's a clusterfuck, since we picked up on sendfile, and then
told them ever-so-nicely we can't compile sendrecv.c. Joy :)
So - backport my patch from trunk which demonstrates either my bug or
darwin's bug? Or disable sendfile detection for solaris? Or actually
match ifdef-for-ifdef the mess in sendfile, and disable sendfile on
all unimplemented platforms? /shrug - I'm growing beyond caring at this
point now that I recognize apple-folks couldn't be bothered to submit
any patches they had used.
Thanks Aaron for picking this up. But I really don't want to wait a week
to hear the semantic is right or wrong, better to simply disable the mess
until 1.3.x
then I'm willing to invest considerable time in the 36 hours to check
for *regressions* on some AIX 5.x level and HP-UX/PA-RISC 11iv1, and
report and perhaps even fix what I can find.
While I was on the subject of Darwin, there's a lingering HPUX 11i issue
I wanted to address; HP's always claimed shl_load for 32-bit, but have
encouraged dlopen from the start for 64 bit. I believe I have a reasonable
test for this in trunk, my last patch to configure.in.
So... for darwin, 10.5 claims it would rather have dlopen, the patch tests
that and passes. Does someone have Darwin 8 (10.4) or earlier to validate
that the old NS* dyld api is still being detected from configure on trunk?
You'll notice I shifted some platforms to avoid all the extra phooey of
testing for features we never use. I left os390/400/aix alone. I'm not
sure if you can move any of those up to the earlier "skip all the extras"
escape for their custom 'other' implementation? I know aix will happily
use dlopen().
I'm verifying non-breakage on aix and hp pa-risc (no ia32/64 boxes around),
and am backporting DSO detection if I don't find a flaw in the next few hours.
I should have probably called out what I'm not waiting on;
* fixes to ipv6 kernel/no configured ipv6 adapter (hp/aix/win32 etc),
two weeks of silence is plenty for my patience :)
* fixes to solaris poll, since nobody but Henry (thanks!) is looking
at this, it won't have enough review to hit 1.2.12.
