Modified files:
include/rpcsvc Makefile
Log:
Invoke rpcgen with -C so that headers are created with ANSI prototypes.
Note: this may cause some problems in a few cases. With very old versions
of rpcgen, if you defined a procedure called foo, then rpcen would create
client stubs for function foo_1() and server stubs _also_ with function
foo_1(). This only worked because of the lack of ANSI prototypes: the
client side stub takes different arguments than the server side stub.
(The client side takes a CLIENT * handle, while the server side wants
an svc_req *.)
To fix this conflict, rpcgen in ANSI mode generates foo_1() for the client
and foo_1_svc() for the server. RPC server code that depends on the old
behavior might break because of this. (Fixing it is just a matter of
adding the _svc suffix onto the server procedure names.)
