Bug 24744

Summary: sys/socket.h uses u_char without including sys/types.h
Product: Base System Reporter: peter <peter>

Description peter 2001-01-30 23:30:01 UTC 
sys/socket.h contains, amongst others, the line:

typedef u_char          sa_family_t;

u_char is defined in sys/types.h, but sys/socket.h doesn't include it

Fix: 

Include sys/types.h from sys/socket.h
How-To-Repeat: 
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

void main(void)
{
}


Swapping the two include lines around makes it compile fine.

This is documented in the manpages. Take for example socket(2), it 
lists <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h>. The order of includes 
should follow the manpage.
