15 years agoMake h2ph look in "include-fixed", needed by at least gcc 4.3
Niko Tyni [Sun, 5 Apr 2009 19:29:38 +0000]
Make h2ph look in "include-fixed", needed by at least gcc 4.3

As seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/522673>, since 4.2.0 or so
gcc's search path has a new "include-fixed" directory,
which currently contains <syslimits.h> and a few other headers.

Converting <syslimits.h> therefore fails unless h2ph knows about the new
directory too.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-02/msg02038.html for some
background to the gcc change.

15 years agoNamespace clean-up for time64.
Craig A. Berry [Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:44:41 +0000]
Namespace clean-up for time64.

All of the time64 functions are only visible within pp_sys.c and are not
part of the public API, so make them all static and give them the S_ prefix.
A side effect of this is that we now unambiguously use S_localtime64_r and
S_gmtime64_r and should no longer collide with system-supplied versions, if
any.

One possible future direction is that if and when Configure detects any
system-supplied *time64_r functions, their prototypes, and their valid
time ranges, we could optionally select those instead of the home-grown
ones.

Another possible future direction is that we could s/S_/Perl_/ and make
the *time64_r functions part of the public API in some post-5.10.x
release.  Currently they are only exposed to the outside world via
Perl_pp_gmtime.

Also gave some TRACE macros more specific names.
