[dm-crypt] odd behavior with libcryptsetup.h

[dm-crypt] odd behavior with libcryptsetup.h

[.. ink ..]

#include <libcryptsetup.h>

int main( void )
{
	return 0 ;
}

A source file with the above code named "crypt.c" errors out when
compiling it with the following command:

gcc -o crypt crypt.c -I/include

"libcryptsetup.h" is located at "'/include" in my distro.
gcc version is 4.5.1.

The compile pass if i add any standard library header i have tried
above the libcryptsetup.h header,if its below or not present, the
compilation fail with below error. I googled why this happens but
havent found anything. using cryptsetup version 1.4.2

Errors produced are below.

gcc -o crypt crypt.c -I/include

I see this behaviour as well with gcc 4.6.3 using the libcryptset.h from
git.

Some quick searching on Googe leads me to believe that size_t is supposed
to be in stddef.h. Like you noted simply adding that fixes the compilation.

Yes, it should be included in header itself.
Actually I just fixed it before I read your reply here... :)
