[oi-dev] g++ 4.7 headers issue (_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED/_STD_C_99)

[Alexander Pyhalov]

Hello...
I've found one more issue with new g++ while trying to compile ncurses 
library. I can't say if it's a fault of autoconf or of our headers. g++ 
now defines _STDC_C99 macro (3.4 g++ didn't do it).

The problems appears when using sys/feature_tests.h header with 
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED macros defined.


_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED functionality is enabled, e.g. in ncurses library 
or aspell to support UTF-8 in curses.

In <sys/feature_tests.h>  _XOPEN_SOURCE   leads to defining
__XOPEN_OR_POSIX, _XPG4_2, _XPG4 and _XPG3.

This leads to error at least  because of the following check

#if defined(_STDC_C99) && (defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX) && !defined(_XPG6))
#error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications \
         and pre-2001 POSIX applications"
#elif !defined(_STDC_C99) && \
         (defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX) && defined(_XPG6))
#error "Compiler or options invalid; UNIX 03 and POSIX.1-2001 applications \
         require the use of c99"
#endif.

If I use the following patch:

then ncurses can be compiled.
