No it doesn't, at least not if a form visible to a compiler... > As your proposed name is not compat/tandem.c but more generic sounding > compat/itimer.c, we would have to plan for systems other than NonStop, so we > may later have to introduce makefile variables to ask that header file to > declare the structure and define the constants that are missing from such a > system.

I thought of having the function decclaration in git-compat-util.h, just like for eg. setenv, gitmkdtemp, etc. Bye, Jojo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
