Alternatively, the implementation of daemonize() and can_daemonize()
can live in compat/ and have the #ifdef switch in git-compat-util.h,
e.g. something along the lines of these:
<< git-compat-util.h >>
... after conditional inclusion of compat/mingw.h ...
#ifndef can_daemonize
#define can_daemonize() 1
#endif
<< compat/mingw.h >>
#define can_daemonize() 0
#define daemonize() mingw_daemonize()
<< setup.c >>
...
#ifndef NO_POSIX_GOODIES
int daemonize(void)
{
... no ifdef around here ...
}
#endif
We can be even more purist and move the daemonize() implementation
for POSIX to compat/posix.c to keep the generic part even more
platform agnostic, which would remove the only #ifdef in setup.c,
but that might be going a bit too far.
These possible implementation choices aside, the goal of this patch
is a worthwhile thing to do, I would think.
Thanks.
