The fix is to define type u_long. However, this normally is done by other system includes. There is no claim that db-4.1.25 is c99 clean that I'm aware of, particularly for your t1.c test case. There are certainly rather easy fixes including other system includes in t1.c. Here is a more thorough answer to why this is not a bug: BerkelyDB uses BSD environment typedefs (like u_long). Normally, gcc/glibc _defaults_ to including BSD environments -- UNLESS an environment/standard is specifically defined, like c99 (see /usr/include/features.h). Therefore, the fix is to define _BSD_SOURCE in C99 code -- in essence specifying that the code uses both C99 and BSD environments. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040301 Description of problem: Compiling a program that includes db.h with -std=c99 results in compilier errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): db4-devel-4.1.25-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo '#include <db.h> int main () {}' > t1.c 2. gcc -std=c99 t1.c 3. Actual Results: In file included from t1.c:2: /usr/include/db.h:1639: syntax error before "u_long" /usr/include/db.h:1650: `remove' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/include/stdio.h:154: previous declaration of `remove' /usr/include/db.h:1787: syntax error before '}' token /usr/include/db.h:1908: syntax error before "u_long" /usr/include/db.h:1914: `txn_begin' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/include/db.h:1735: previous declaration of `txn_begin' Expected Results: sucessful compile Additional info: This 'bug' seems to be present in Fedora 1 and 2 as well.
