I eliminated it in revision 1.1.6.1 of ftok.c. At the same time, I moved that file into libc. If you still have a SysV directory, then you probably forgot the "-P" flag when doing a cvs update. > Also, in SysV/ftok.c, ftok is defined as > > key_t ftok(const char *path, char id) but /usr/include/sys/ipc.h declares > ftok as > > ftok(const char *, int); > > so basically in the source file the second arg is a char, but the header > file (ipc.h) declares the second arg to be an int. True, that's a bug. I don't think it has any actual effect, since the function definition has the old pre-ANSI form: key_t ftok(path, id) const char *path; char id; which means that "id" is assumed to be passed as an int, even though only the low-order byte of it is used. But it should be fixed. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
