Require c99 when building libhdfs
---------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2042
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2042
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: libhdfs
Reporter: Eli Collins
Priority: Minor
Per the discussion in HDFS-1619, libhdfs uses some c99 features, therefore we
should use compile with c99 standard flags (eg c99 or gnu99 when using gcc)
when building it. We could do this with autotools via AC_PROG_CC_C99 (which
requires a more recent autotools) or by setting CLFAGS in
src/c++/libhdfs/configure. We should perhaps rename src/c++ to src/c while
we're at it since libhdfs is not written in c++ and libhdfs is the only
subdirectory.
