(If anyone can point me to a fixinclude that does the same
kind of one-line change elsewhere, I could work with that...)
That's easy, just take a look at the file fixincludes/inclhack.def, most fixes
are exactly this kind of one-line changes. Picking one completely at random:
fix = {
hackname = vxworks_needs_vxtypes;
files = time.h;
select= uint_t([ \t]+_clocks_per_sec);
c_fix = format;
c_fix_arg = unsigned int%1;
test_text = uint_t\t_clocks_per_sec;;
};
This one replaces uint_t with unsigned int. The README file in that directory
is useful too.
ISTR there was a problem with genfixes not working on recent OS, but that
shouldn't be a problem for you ;-)

Marc, thank you for the pointer. The single-line-edit case, at least, seems
straightforward enough.
Here's my stab at it:
/*
* stdlib.h on AIX 4.3 declares strtof() with a non-const first argument.
*/
fix = {
hackname = aix_strtof_const;
files = stdlib.h;
select= (extern float +strtof)\(char \*, char \*\*\);
c_fix = format;
c_fix_arg = %1(const char *, char **);
test_text = strtof(char *, char **);;
};

I am surprised that anyone is trying to build recent versions of GCC for it. If someone wants to develop a fixincludes patch, I can review it. The problem undoubtedly exists, but can be worked around manually.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48009 --- Comment #6 from Daniel Richard G. skunk at iskunk dot org 2012-05-13 05:11:32 UTC --- (In reply to comment #5) AIX 4.3 is extremely old and support was withdrawn a while ago. I am surprised that anyone is trying to build recent versions of GCC for it. If someone wants to develop a fixincludes patch, I can review it. The problem undoubtedly exists, but can be worked around manually. My employer favors the use of older systems for software builds, as Unix is generally solid on forward compatibility and this prevents awkward scenarios where a customer is running an older OS than we are. Continuing GCC support is one of the downsides of this approach, of course. I wouldn't be surprised if support for AIX 4.3 is obsoleted soon, but I'd like to ensure that everything is working before that point. (I didn't follow up Solaris 8 as aggressively, and now I'm trying to get some fixes in even as the support is being ripped out of 4.8.) I can provide a unified-diff patch for the header in question; I don't know how to hack fixincludes. (If anyone can point me to a fixinclude that does the same kind of one-line change elsewhere, I could work with that...)
