SGI: Development

Hi,

does anyone know if irix has a strerror_r() implemented.

Ran into with a recent compile and want to check before I code one?

Cheers

Nah, it's only been part of the POSIX standard since 2001, you can't expect SGI to have kept up that far can ya?

Seriously though, man strerror returns a manpage, man strerror_r returns nothing, and grep strerror_r /usr/include/* returns nothing, so I think you're going to have to code your own. Or steal it from the GNU project...

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I did a similar search and couldn't find anything related other than goserror which is related to sproc and is specifically stated to not be compatible with pthreads.

I was just wondering as to whether there was an equivalent under another name in irix and thought I would check with you guys.

pretty simple to implement and still be reentrant.

thanks again

Cheers

Yeah I looked at the GNU version on my Slackware 14 box and, despite GNU's usual obfuscated coding style, it didn't look too bad...

There's a srterror_r in gnulib: This function is missing on some platforms: NetBSD 3.0, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 9, mingw, MSVC 9. Sadly, using gnulib either implies that you use autoconf/automake, or do a lot of manual work to resolve all the macros.
