[Linux-ia64] system.h / pal.h / types.h

[Joe Griffin]

Hello,

The following program fails on my IA64 (tiger)
with the 2.4.18 kernel and 2.2.4 glibc.  There
is an error when system.h includes pal.h:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <asm/system.h>
main ()
{
printf("Hello World \n");
}

system.h  has:
#include <asm/pal.h>

pal.h has:
typedef s64                             pal_status_t;

But s64 is only defined in asm/types.h if
either __KERNEL__ or _ASM_IA64_PAL_H is defined.
In the older version, when system.h came from
kernel-headers, this error did not exit.

... Or is it a "feature" that I now must compile
any program which contains "#include <asm/system.h>"
with CCFLAGS="-D_ASM_IA64_PAL_H"?

My actual error is:

In file included from /usr/include/asm/system.h:19,
                from main.c:2:
/usr/include/asm/pal.h:88: parse error before `pal_status_t'
/usr/include/asm/pal.h:88: warning: data definition has no type or
storage class
/usr/include/asm/pal.h:101: parse error before `pal_cache_level_t'
.....



Does anyone have any comments on this?
Is there a new glibc which fixes this
error?

Willing to learn,
Thanks in advance,
Joe Griffin

What are you trying to do?  Kernel headers are just that, kernel headers,
and not for use in user programs.

Andreas,

I am making a few RPMS from source.  The
source has an include of asm/system.h.
If "asm/system.h" is in a "c" program
I do not think a person should have an error.

Are you saying that programs should
not have asm/system.h in them?

Yes, if it's not part of the kernel.
