Synopsis: <sys/uio.h> refer to <sys/types.h> but not include one State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dillon State-Changed-When: Sat Dec 12 18:51:05 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: I am going to close this PR. While it does contain an excellent point, it isn't really a bug in UNIX. Most UNIX's have include file dependancies and this happens to be a documented one for FreeBSD. Also, there are probably dozens of sys/ header files that need sys/types.h. Programmers tend to write programs that compile under their own systems that virtually never compile clean on other systems. Most of the time (and with this case), it is a relatively simple porting issue but it is one that must be fixed in the program, not in the operating system. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
