make fnmatch() static (2.21 KB, patch)

Description jacob berkman 2002-09-09 20:21:40 UTC 
the included copy of fnmatch() will get exported by gtk+ on some systems. 
this can especially be a problem if you link against gnome-vfs 1, which
also exports fnmatch() and your linker doesn't allow more than 1 function
with the same name (mac os x at least).

the attached patch makes fnmatch() a static function.

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-09-24 08:53:00 UTC 
Since you mention gnome vfs1, do you consider this a GTK+-1.2.11
bug? (at this point, I really doubt we'll ever do a 1.2.11)
Comment 3 jacob berkman 2002-09-24 14:14:43 UTC 
i consider it both a gtk 1.2 and 2.x bug, although i only ran into the
problem with 1.2.
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-10-22 19:08:12 UTC 
Fixed on HEAD and gtk-2-0

Tue Oct 22 15:03:41 2002  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gtk/fnmatch.h: When compiling our on fnmatch.c,
        #define fnmatch _gtk_fnmatch (#92890, Jacob Berkman)

I'm not going to bother assinging it to 1.2.11 milestone;
it is looking more and more likely that that will never
happen.
