Hi, all--
I was trying to update the BZFlag port, only I've run into a problem
which can be condensed down to the following minimal test code:
120-ns1% cat foo.cxx
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/select.h>
static int foo = 0;
121-ns1% c++ -c foo.cxx
In file included from /usr/include/sys/select.h:40,
from foo.cxx:2:
/usr/include/sys/event.h:53: syntax error before `;'
/usr/include/sys/event.h:55: syntax error before `;'
In file included from foo.cxx:2:
/usr/include/sys/select.h:47: syntax error before `;'
Adding an include for <sys/types.h> works, so I can patch BZFlag to do
so as well, but I wanted to run this by the peanut gallery and see
whether this is regarded as a problem with the system headers, or a
coding error on the part of the developers.
[ This was on a 4.11 system, but the BZFlag code compiles on Linux,
Solaris, MacOS X, and Win32, so I'm not going to assume that BZFlag is
doing something wrong, either. ]
