Bug 23366

Summary:	mmap() non conforming
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	dwhedon <dwhedon>

Description dwhedon 2000-12-07 23:10:01 UTC

mmap() as defined by the open group doesn't need sys/types.h included:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/mmap.html

However, on FreeBSD it is required.  This breaks applications that 
conform to the SuS.		

How-To-Repeat: bash-2.03$ more test.c
#include <sys/mman.h>
main(){
}
bash-2.03$ gcc test.c
In file included from test.c:1:
/usr/include/sys/mman.h:134: syntax error before `mode_t'
/usr/include/sys/mman.h:137: syntax error before `size_t'
etc.

mmap() as defined by BSD does.

Having said that, we will be making such a change soon, in 5.x only,
for compatibility with the forthcoming revision of POSIX.  Please be
patient.

State Changed
From-To: open->patched

Current no longer requires sys/types.h and the example works.

I don't plan to MFC this, so there isn't much point in keeping it 
open.
