Thank you very much, Lance, for the quick response! =Some versions of Linux modified timeval. Posix.1g specifies const =qualifier. I think most unixes don't modify it. I think ?? in the old =days some unixes did modify it. legacy and compatibility issues. If Posix.1g specifies const-ness and we don't, in fact, modify it, is it a bug, we don't declare it const? -mi _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
