Didn't get a response when I sent this to the valhall-list
so I was wondering if anybody here could answer the question...
I'm trying to compile an old application here and I stumbled onto this
in the source code:
/* getdtablesize() unfortunately does not really return the maximum
number of open files per process under Linux libc 5.4.33. Since
we have a much higher limit, it would just prevent users from
logging in without any reason. Replaced it with the real limit. K.K. */
#define getdtablesize() 512
This breaks the source code since it conflicts with /usr/include/unistd.h
gcc -DSYSTEM_LINUX -DLINUX -DGICS -UTIMESEAL -DSEEK -O -g -Wall \
-Wno-comment -c -o formula.o formula.c
In file included from stdinclude.h:93,
from command.h:29,
from playerdb.h:26,
from formula.h:5,
from formula.c:53:
/usr/include/unistd.h:857:31: macro "getdtablesize" passed 1 arguments,
but takes just 0
make: *** [formula.o] Erreur 1
Does anybody know if the claim in the comment is true?
What is the the maximum number of files a process can open these days
(I believe it's 256 but I could be wrong)?
