strncasecmp in strings.h?

2007-11-26 Thread Karl Berry
I received a bug report for Texinfo (about AIX 4.3.3) that strncasecmp was not declared without #include strings.h -- that is, strings.h, not string.h. The spec at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strcasecmp.html says the same. The strcase gnulib module only mentions

Troubles with dispose function on oset

2007-11-26 Thread xeos
Hi everyone, I have a trouble at oset modules of gnulib. I have written my dispose function, I get as parameter a void pointer, which it seems I must free too. However its prototype is like: typedef void (*gl_setelement_dispose_fn) (const void *elt); Then, if I declare my function with a

gl_REVISION([abc6ba7cb8ac9acb9acd..]) I don't have any objection to such a feature, but I probably wouldn't use it myself -- I update from gnulib too often to want to munge configure.ac every time. Pretty much the only time I refrain from updating is nearing a release. Best, karl
