Good evening, It's true, that's a waste, although very small, to add an if structure. Remains a weak argument: not being clamav a Go project, it has for sure a badly optimized, on the buiding side, codebase, so a config macro and an #ifdef SYSTEMD_EXISTS around the call surely doesn't waste anything valuable. -- Teodoro Santoni Something is wrong. I don't wanna compile 20 KB of Go code to list files. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
