- Implement a simple framework for automated header testing and generation
using the c preprocessor.
- Make it installable on all platforms. On most platforms it will not install
any files however.
- Bump revision to 0.5.
The changes should make it easier to add Interix support to this package.
Note that the package is still far from complete; for example the replacement
stdint.h does not yet provide fallback definitions for int_*t and friends
but relies on inttypes.h to provide them, which turns out to work for HPUX.
preprocessor to find out the absolute path of the system header, so that
we may include it before we add our customizations.
This is especially important when using gcc, due to it's "fixincludes".
For example, <math.h> might not be /usr/include/math.h, but instead
something like /path/to/gcc/lib/gcc/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}/include/math.h.
This package attempts to resolve deficiencies in system headers.
These deficiencies are commonly found on older operating system releases.
When use of posix_headers has been enabled on a platform, this package will
become a compile-time dependency for every package. It will provide customized
header files that take preference over some system provided ones (that may
not even exist). This happens transparently through use of buildlink3.
