#279 closed defect (fixed)

Conflicting types for 'system'

Reported by: dryeo Owned by: Yuri Dario
Priority: normal Milestone: libc-0.6.6
Component: libc Version: 0.6.5
Severity: major Keywords: conflict
Cc: dave.r.yeo@…

Description

A configure script is dieing with G:/usr/include/sys/process.h:72: error: conflicting types for 'system' G:/usr/include/stdlib.h:121: note: previous declaration of 'system' was here and sure enough sys/process.h uses 72 int system (__const__ char *); and stdlib.h uses 121 int system(const char *);

not sure which is correct or if this is gcc 4.4.6 being pedantic but they should be reconciled or guarded

I'd like to clean up all the __const__, __const and const usage while at it. Working on figuring out in which direction to go with this and cleaning it up.

Using const since I think we can forget about compilers without the 'const' keyword now. That said, I wonder what crazy stuff that configure test was doing to const and/or __const__.

r3808 (trunk) and r3809 (0.6) commits an extended version of the patches.
