[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] Darwin: Fix compilation warning regarding the deprecated daemon() function

[Alexandre Raymond]

On OSX > 10.5, daemon() is deprecated, resulting int he following warning:
----8<----
qemu-nbd.c: In function ‘main’:
qemu-nbd.c:371: warning: ‘daemon’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/stdlib.h:289)
----8<----

The following trick, used in mDNSResponder, takes care of this warning:

Even if apparently applied by Apple themselves, I consider it a bad  
hack for curing symptoms.

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2083/_index.html#// 
apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003794-CH1-SUBSECTION64

Possibly a better fix would be to supply a .plist file for use with  
launchd/launchctl and to #ifndef __APPLE__ the daemon() functionality?

Further comments inline.

Blue Swirl has declared war on "extern"... ;)

I agree that this is a nasty hack. It's really up to you guys. I can
try to modify this patch to use launchd instead.

If we do decide to borrow this trick from there, can we
also borrow some equivalent of the comment which explains
why we're doing it?

Please introduce a wrapper instead, for example in oslib-posix.c. Then
the #ifdeffery is not spread to generic files.
