But then, building with -pedantic triggers loads of warnings :-( Ilja Booij wrote:

Why doesn't freebsd like this code? <code> void manage_stop_children() { /* * * cleanup all remaining forked processes * */ trace(TRACE_MESSAGE, "%s,%s: General stop requested. Killing children..

Or am I missing something else here. Someone with access to freebsd please help me out here. Ilja?I think it doesn't like the fact that the trace() call comes before the variable declarations. If I compile with the '-pedantic' options, I get the following message: pool.c: In function `manage_stop_children': pool.c:369: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations and code If that's the problem, then the solution would be to put the trace() call after all variable declarations. BTW, I don't have a FreeBSD machine here, so I can't test it.
