Hi Alex,
yes, it is the _PC_NAME_MAX issue which is only valid for pathconf().
Attached is the little patch to fix it.
Since MinGW is based on gcc-4.6, C99 should be available.
As the Wiki states (well, the entry is 3 years old...), printf() is the
main
issue. But there may be some other functions that don't behave C99
compliant.
Sound not like a compiler, but a library issue.
Maybe some functions have to be provided by Wget. If we just had a list of
issues/functions...
most of these portability problems should be fixed by gnulib. Have you
checked those? I am pretty sure that gnulib provides a POSIX compliant
printf replacement on platforms that lack it.
Now, I checked the gnulib sources. And as far as I can see, the printf like
functions are c99 compliant.
So we have a C99 (cross-) compiler plus a C99 function library (for Win32,
Win64 and MSDOS). Are there any OSes that doesn't have a c99 compiler and that
Wget needs/wants to provide support for ?
Background:
As many C programmers I am used to C99 and for me it is a PITA to check my
patches to be 100% C89 compliant before sending them. It is not fun.
So I wish to see C99 acceptance in Wget in the future...
Regards, Tim
