[»] errors in ed-0.4
by dB - Feb 17th 2007 19:53:49

I'm sure Antonio Diaz means well, but there are a couple of glaring errors in signal.c:

In sigwinch_handler(), there is an executable statement before a declaration (when TIOCGWINSZ is defined). That works in C++, but not in C.

In set_signal(), the non-standard flag SA_RESTART is used. This should be conditionalized, as it is not supported on all flavours of Unix (including QNX Neutrino); POSIX does not in fact require it to be defined.

Both errors will be fixed in version 0.6.
Next time, please use the mailing list to notify errors. Thanks.

This is quite possibly one of the coolest projects I've ever seen announced on Freshmeat.
