My approach to this is to avoid non-standard things -- if I write a patch which is pretty much standard C then it's the platform's problem if it mishandles it. If I write a patch that uses a compiler-specific or OS-specific thing then I have to also provide the relevant alternatives...so I try to avoid doing that :-) -- PMM -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
