mntent: New module.
While trying to update gnulib in findutils, I've been prompted by this new
syntax-check failure:
find/fstype.c:30:#if HAVE_MNTENT_H
maint.mk: do not test the above HAVE_<header>_H symbol(s);
with the corresponding gnulib module, they are always true
make: *** [maint.mk:969: sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests] Error 1
When trying to use the new 'mntent' module (alone), I'm getting the following
error:
./mntent.h:584:6: error: operator '&&' has no left operand
584 | #if && 1
| ^~
It seems that it's not possible to use 'mntent' without also using 'hasmntopt'.
because only the latter defines @GNULIB_HASMNTOPT@ and added it to mntent.in.h:
#if @GNULIB_HASMNTOPT@ && @HAVE_SETMNTENT@
Reproducer:
$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir mntent \
&& cd /tmp/testdir \
&& ./configure && make
... yields in gllib/mntent.h:584:
#if && 1
Should 'mntent' depend on 'hasmntopt' (which would be a circular dependency)?
Is there another solution?
Have a nice day,
