Oh, maybe were you thinking that bash is the bourne shell? It's the bourne-again shell, a rewrite of the bourne shell. Solaris sh is probably the closest to the original bourne shell.
I thought I said bash somewhere, but perhaps you didn't.
My tool runs with any bourne shell compatible shell. It works with bash2, bash3, bash4, ksh, ksh88, ksh93, Solaris sh, Tru64 sh, ash, dash, mksh, pdksh. HP-UX sh.
I see.
You put directives in the "interface file" (to use the SWIG term) to test which capabilities the system has. It creates an output file (.sh, .c, .d). Depending on those capabilities, the code can use #if or static if statements to provide code that works for the system you are building on. In the case of the C/D language interface, the directives will extract typedefs, structures, C function declarations, macros, #defines.
Ok, I see. -- /Jacob Carlborg
