Building the v1.5 branch on Linux with the Solaris Studio 12.2 compilers
I see the following failure:
"[srcdir]/opal/event/event.h", line 797: Error: Type name expected
instead of "u_char".
"[srcdir]/opal/event/event.h", line 798: Error: Type name expected
instead of "u_char".
"[srcdir]/opal/event/event.h", line 1184: Error: "," expected instead
of "*".
Where line 1184 is a prototype containing "u_char *".
As far as I can find, only several files below opal/event/ contain any
use of "u_char".
There is a typedef for u_char in hwloc, but no use that I could see.
To the best of my knowledge u_char is NOT defined by any standard, and
thus there is no particular header one can reliably find it in.
The alternatives, of course are "unsigned char" or "uint8_t" (defined in
stdint.h).
I had a look at the trunk and VISUALLY is appears the same problem
exists in:
opal/event/event.h
opal/mca/event/libevent2013/libevent/event.h
However, my testing is currently confined to the v1.5 branch in the
hopes of finally getting the next 1.5.5rc out the door.
