No where. C does not define S_IFMT, so strict conformance means limiting yourself to the symbols defined by C, therefore attempting to use something the standard does not call out should be an error, as you found out. > Why not in sys/stat.h? Because in strict conformance mode, sys/stat.h must not pollute the environment. You usually DON'T want to compile in strict conformance mode, if you have any likelihood of using extensions. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
