Well, at some point it probably _will_ break on other systems, exactly
because other systems want to have the extended declarations.
It would be much better to have all the weird system dependencies solved
in ONE place, rather than have each file (depending on just what they
happen to need) have their own hacks for each weird system header file
situation.
So it really would be a hell of a lot better to figure out _why_ strings.h
doesn't "just work" when _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is set. Or if there are
better alternatives that work on HP-UX..
Does adding a
#define _SVID_SOURCE 1
help? Also, we should probably make the _GNU_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE
defines define to 1 (which is the way they'd be if we used -D_GNU_SOURCE
on the compiler command line)
IOW, the appended ...
The really sad part is that this seems to be an OS X _bug_.
"strncasecmp()" is part of the standard Open UNIX definitions, it's not
something that should be shut off by _XOPEN_SOURCE, afaik.
There were apparently some OS X developers on the git list, mind
commenting on this?
