Hi Bruno, how about Jim's suggestion to remove the cast completely? Or is that code used also in C++, where a cast might be necessary? Ciao, Claudio

documentation about program_name use

2006-02-13 Thread Claudio Fontana
Hello, while using gnulib I stumbled upon a not well documented 'program_name' symbol requirement. I would suggest to add this to the GNU coding standards: "Each C program should define program_name as a string of characters (char*), used to store the name of the program." I would also suggest

Hello, I send this small patch for better 'included libintl' support in gettext.m4 for review. DESCRIPTION: when writing code that should be portable to systems that do not happen to have a working libintl, the current situation is in my opinion suboptimal. running gettextize --intl creates the

Hello, I received another bug report for idutils, where compilation of gnulib module fnmatch under Mac OS X 10.3.9 fails, seemingly for a problem related to multibyte character constants: Machinetype:Apple Power Mac G4 (2 1420 MHz PowerPC G4 (3.3) CPUs, 2GB RAM); Darwin 7.9.0 (Mac OS

Hello, I forward to the list this small patch for better "included libintl" support for review. It is my intention to do these other things to further improve integration of intl with gnulib: * make a gettext-included module that automatically calls gettextize --intl on gnulib-tool --import. *

2005-09-15 Thread Claudio Fontana
Hello, allocating pseudo-terminals in a portable way is a nightmare. I tried to study Expect source code, but the operation is so messy and so unportable (#ifdefs abound) that the code is difficult to read and understand. I am developing the GNU Source Installer project; basically I am rewriting
