Here's the portion of limits.h where they commented out NAME_MAX: /* * POSIX 1003.1a, section 2.9.5, table 2-5 contains [NAME_MAX] and the * related text states: * * A definition of one of the values from Table 2-5 shall be omitted from the * on specific implementations where the corresponding value is * equal to or greater than the stated minimum, but where the value can vary * depending on the file to which it is applied. The actual value supported for * a specific pathname shall be provided by the pathconf() (5.7.1) function. * * This is clear that any machine supporting multiple file system types * and/or a network can not include this define, regardless of protection * by the _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE flags. * * #define NAME_MAX 14 */ I'd be happy to test anything, of course. (The d_name field is still defined to be 1 char long, so I think the glibc comment still pertains to Solaris, but I'm really no expert about this system!). _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
