Another reason why the weak __error() belongs in libc, and not in Xlib is because ANSI/POSIX/ISO C reserves all identifiers that begin with an underscore (X used _X* before ANSI C annexed underscore as a prefix) so it's clear to me that __error() in Xlib would be an egregious hack. -- Kaleb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
