Of course. It was so obvious that I missed it. :-) Still I think the code should verify that any assumptions made str really true, if possible. Like: #if defined(HAVE_GETPWUID) || defined(HAVE_GETPWNAM) || defined(HAVE_GETPWENT) # if !(defined(HAVE_GETPWUID) && defined(HAVE_GETPWNAM) && defined(HAVE_GETPWENT)) # error All or none of the functions getpwuid, getpwnam and getpwent are assumed to exist # endif #endif
