Not just stddef.h, but what about the definitions in minios's include/lib.h?I received no compiler warnings other than the reported problem with size_t and NULL. The console source file includes lib.h before it includes Lua headers, so the other definitions must fit with Lua's definitions. The functions in lib.c take precedence over the ones in the C library, so they better be good. The definition of gettimeofday also overrides that which is provided by the C library, which is good because the C library simply provides a stub routine. By the way, the Lua allocator in the modified version of console.c does not free enough. I did that to look for malloc bugs, but forgot to remove the change when it made no difference. Okay, well ultimately it's up to Grzegorz whether to take the patch as he's currently de facto maintainer of mini-os. However, I don't see any obvious problem in using stddef.h from within minios. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
