Hello,
I am trying to recompile a program called srm (available on sourceforge
) for openindiana. It works as rm but makes sure that there is no trace
of the destroyed file in the blocks of the free list.
This program uses #if defined (__linux__) and #if defined (__OpenBSD__)
and I should replace this code with something appropriate for openindiana.
__linux__ etc are predifines preprocessor macros, presented in
https://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/OperatingSystems/
However, I do not see openindiana in there, so what should I use ?
Hello.
Well, we still pretend to be Solaris. So there's nothing better than
#if defined(__sun)
__sun__ seems to be GCC-specific and "sun" is not defined when using c99
and later C standards.
The answer, which people like to give is 'test for features, not for
operating system'. For example, illumos got pthread_attr_get_np()
interface in 2016. So, you can't say if the current system, which you
use to build software, has this specific feature without testing for it.
But I think it's not necessary the correct answer, more an attempt to
hide an issue that there's no such thing as 'illumos releases/versions'.
