Comments from the tracker below. If anyone sees a problem with my fix, let me know:: The CXX/WrapPython.h header has the following code to deal with the swab issue // Prevent multiple conflicting definitions of swab from stdlib.h and unistd.h #if defined(__sun) || defined(sun) #if defined(_XPG4) #undef _XPG4 #endif #endif See http://cxx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cxx/trunk/CXX/CXX/WrapPython.h?revision=198&content-type=text%2Fplain The header of stdlib.h on the sage tracker and on my solaris system say this: /* * swab() has historically been in <stdlib.h> as delivered from AT&T * and continues to be visible in the default compilation environment. * As of Issue 4 of the X/Open Portability Guides, swab() was declared * in <unistd.h>. As a result, with respect to X/Open namespace the * swab() declaration in this header is only visible for the XPG3 * environment. */ Ie, the swab declaration is visible for the XPG3 environment but WrapperPython.h is only unsetting XPG$. The proposed fix is to also unset XPG3 in this environment. I don't pfully understand all these macros, but this seems consistent with the comments in stdlib and with what WrapPython is trying to do, and it works (mpl compiles and passes tests). So I am committing the following change to mpl's CXX (this should also be pushed upstream into CXX where we might get better feedback on whether this change is indeed correct). // Prevent multiple conflicting definitions of swab from stdlib.h and unistd.h #if defined(__sun) || defined(sun) #if defined(_XPG4) #undef _XPG4 #endif #if defined(_XPG3) #undef _XPG3 #endif #endif JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
