Hi coders, Tired of always writing something like this?
if ((ptr = malloc(size)) == NULL) { (void) fprintf(stderr, "%s: out of memory\n", prog); exit(1); } Well, now you can just write this: if ((ptr = malloc(size)) == NULL) err(1, "%s: out of memory", prog); This is now possible thanks to err/warn function family being integrated into libc in the ON consolidation. More details and examples can be found in the man page, blog entry and PSARC materials: err(3C) / available in Nevada since build 72 http://blogs.sun.com/vlad/entry/closing_bsd_compatibility_gap http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2006/662/ v. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
