I was trying to compile the db.1.85 that someone pointed me to at
ftp.cs.berkeley.edu (newer version of our ndbm routines, with good docs)
and I got errors involing parsing stdlib.h, like this:
/usr/include/stdlib.h:80: parse error before `__dead2'
/usr/include/stdlib.h:80: warning: data definition has no type or storage
class
/usr/include/stdlib.h:82: parse error before `__pure2'
/usr/include/stdlib.h:82: warning: data definition has no type or storage
class
There was a lot more, but just repetitions of complaints about __pure2 and
__dead2. I took a look at stdlib.h, and it has these things, sure
enough, but they don't look like any C code I've ever seen. Does anyone
recognize what these things are? In stdlib, they look like:
__BEGIN_DECLS
__dead void
abort __P((void)) __dead2;
__pure int
abs __P((int)) __pure2;
but I don't see either define'd anywhere, nor in other header files.
