[PATCH] libselinux/src/regex.c: support old compilers for the endian check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



libselinux 2.6 has added some code in regex.c that uses __BYTE_ORDER__
to determine the system endianness. Unfortunately, this definition
provided directly by the compiler doesn't exist in older gcc versions
such as gcc 4.4.

In order to address this, this commit extends the logic to use
<endian.h> definitions if __BYTE_ORDER__ is not provided by the
compiler. This allows libselinux to build properly with gcc 4.4.
