Posix says:
Pathname Variable Values
The values in the following list may be constants within an
implementation or may vary from one pathname to another. For
example, file systems or directories may have different characteristics.
A definition of one of the values shall be omitted from the <limits.h>
header on specific implementations where the corresponding value is equal
to or greater than the stated minimum, but where the value can vary
depending on the file to which it is applied. The actual value supported
for a specific pathname shall be provided by the pathconf() function.
{PATH_MAX}
Maximum number of bytes in a pathname, including the terminating
null character.
Minimum Acceptable Value: {_POSIX_PATH_MAX}
So, does GNU define _POSIX_PATH_MAX?
Does GNU support pathconf()?
I read the other thread where it is suggested that a non-portable
GNU extension should be used. The gfortran source is fairly clean
from such kludges, and I would oppose the introduction of one.
