Can't find MQ_PRIO_MAX in include
Hello, I'm trying to use some POSIX MQ on Debian. I tried my code on Debian, FreeBSD and Cygwin, and it went well. I encountered a problem on FreeBSD about the maximum priority, then I searched about a fixed maximum, and I found MQ_PRIO_MAX. On FreeBSD and Cygwin it works properly, but on Debian, I can't find the macro MQ_PRIO_MAX. Precisely : I included mqueue.h for the mq_attr definition, mq_open function, ... And MQ_PRIO_MAX seems to be defined in limits.h in POSIX explanations. So, I included limits.h, and Debian still can't find MQ_PRIO_MAX. I googled a little, and found it in linux/mqueue.h ! But if I put only linux/mqueue.h, mq_open, mq_close... are undefined. If I put linux/mqueue.h and mqueue.h, mq_attr is redefined. If I put only mqueue.h, MQ_PRIO_MAX is undefined. How should I found MQ_PRIO_MAX correctly on Debian ? My CFLAGS are : -W -Wall -Werror -ansi -pedantic My LDFLAGS are : -lrt I'm working on a Debian Squeeze (2.6.32-042stab076.8 #1 SMP Tue May 14 20:38:14 MSK 2013 x86_64), with ldd (Debian EGLIBC 2.11.3-4) 2.11.3. Shouldn't MQ_PRIO_MAX be define in limits.h in the next releases ? Thank you in advance ! -- Fabrice BOISSIER // Metalman

Re: Can't find MQ_PRIO_MAX in include
linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev already installed, and the file /usr/include/linux/mqueue.h contains MQ_PRIO_MAX and the struct mq_attr. But the structure mq_attr in /usr/include/linux/mqueue.h is in conflict with the one declared in the /usr/include/mqueue.h (precisely in /usr/include/bits/mqueue.h that is included by /usr/include/mqueue.h) Either MQ_PRIO_MAX and some other constants should be defined in limits.h, or struct mq_attr shouldn't be defined twice. 2013/5/31 Neil Williams codeh...@debian.org On Fri, 31 May 2013 11:21:15 +0200 Fabrice Boissier fabrice.boiss...@gmail.com wrote: macro MQ_PRIO_MAX.

Personally, a twice declaration of a structure is probably not very very good... ok, that's none of my business, I don't criticize this point. But, the macro I was searching for is defined in a file, and as a third developper I can't directly access it during precompilation... why ? It seems nobody care about POSIX MQ, and it's a little puzzling that Debian doesn't show the macro in limits.h or mqueue.h, even if it's declared in some headers. My point was only to be sure if that was expectable or not. -- Fabrice BOISSIER // Metalman
