This will be fixed in my giant POSIX-draft header patch which will hit the tree some time next month. -GAWollman Garrett Wollman <wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu> writes: > <<On Sun, 22 Oct 2000 16:16:52 +0200 (CEST), Cyrille Lefevre <clefevre@citeweb.net> said: > > > the type of the gr_gid member of struct group doesn't match > > the type of the pw_gid member of struct passwd which prevent > > a simple comparison such as passwd->pw_gid == group->gr_gid > > w/o a compiler warning. > > This will be fixed in my giant POSIX-draft header patch which will hit > the tree some time next month. do you think that FreeBSD will be POSIX compliant in the sense of the OpenGroup one day ? what I would like to say is, is it possible to make FreeBSD pass the OpenGroup validation tests ? is this a cost problem (I guess yes) ?

I've just found things which may interrest you. those things seems to be UNIX 98 certification suite located at : http://www.opengroup.org/testing/downloads.html specially, VSX-PCTS and System Header Checker. also, UNIX 98 specifications may be found here : http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/ see you.

Cyrille. -- home: mailto:clefevre@citeweb.net work: mailto:Cyrille.Lefevre@edf.fr Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->wollman Wollman's reminder to close this when he (finally/hopefully) commits his POSIX header patch. Responsible Changed From-To: wollman->standards This is a standards issue, which has now been fixed. I'm leaving this PR open as a reminder that the namespace pollution in <pwd.h> still needs to be fixed. State Changed From-To: open->closed I've taken care of the namespace problems.

the type of the gr_gid member of struct group doesn't match the type of the pw_gid member of struct passwd which prevent a simple comparison such as passwd->pw_gid == group->gr_gid w/o a compiler warning.
