Am I just completely stupid, or do we have a few things that could use a little cleaning up in /usr/include as well as in the man page for kvm_*?
System: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE 1) The man page for the kvm_* functions lists the following #include dependencies: #include <kvm.h> #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/sysctl.h> However, kvm.h contains some declarations that also require <sys/proc.h> and <sys/user.h> (namely, struct kinfo_proc and struct proc). Otherwise, one might encounter warnings/errors re: incomplete types. 2) If compiling with the -pedantic switch, one might see something like this: In file included from main.c:151: /usr/include/sys/proc.h:108: warning: ANSI C forbids zero-size array `ar_args' In <sys/proc.h>: /* * pargs, used to hold a copy of the command line, if it had a sane * length */ struct pargs { u_int ar_ref; /* Reference count */ u_int ar_length; /* Length */ u_char ar_args[0]; /* Arguments */ }; This does indeed seem to make little or no sense. Could someone explain this? Is ar_args supposed to be a pointer or what? 3) Furthermore, on including <sys/user.h>, one then sees this: In file included from /usr/include/sys/user.h:40, from main.c:153: /usr/include/machine/pcb.h:90: warning: struct has no members In <machine/pcb.h>: /* * The pcb is augmented with machine-dependent additional data for * core dumps. For the i386: ??? */ struct md_coredump { }; Nowhere under /usr/include is a more complete definition of md_coredump to be found. This looks awfully "kludgy" to me. I do hope someone can shed some light here. Thanks. -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> First Rule of History: History doesn't repeat itself -- historians merely repeat each other.
