The code made the assumption that, if union semun is not defined, semctl() does not use union semun as fourth argument. From the glibc-2.1.1pre3 FAQ: 3.15. The sys/sem.h file lacks the definition of `union semun'. {UD} Nope. This union has to be provided by the user program. Former glibc versions defined this but it was an error since it does not make much sense when thinking about it. The standards describing the System V IPC functions define it this way and therefore programs must be adopted. ------ So, even if I don't see the point of a structure used by the C interface not being declared in the standard C header files, we should adopt PHP to match that "standard" (X/OPEN) behaviour. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
