Type and version: KN02ca 7.4H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
Compile the following program:
#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1
#include <dirent.h>
main () {}
What's wrong:
When _POSIX_SOURCE is defined, MAXHOSTNAME is not defined. This is good.
However, when _POSIX_SOURCE is defined, it still tries to access MAXHOSTNAME.
This is bad.
The program fails to compile.
This is not the behavior defined by ths Posix standard.
What should have happened:
The program should have compiled.
