That apparently means you won't support clang then, because it's not
intended to be (or ever going to be) fully bug-for-bug "compatible" with
GCC. In this case, at least, clang is reporting legitimate issues which
should be fixed, even if folks continue to build lsof with GCC from now
until the end of days.
The elegant solution would be to avoid this problem altogether by
re-implementation of lsof using interfaces into the kernel that provide the
required information.
bsdof anyone?
lsof is PORTABLE and available on LOTS of platforms.
We have fstat, but lsof can be used between differing OS's.
We've also asked for Kernel interfaces before, but no one volunteered
to make the KPI for them.
I'm sure if someone(tm) (not me, insufficient knowledge) was
to make interfaces for ALL that lsof needs, Vic would implement it
as it would make his life easier.
