Followup-To: poster Date: 1 Dec 1994 16:17:32 GMT Organization: CICNet, Inc. Lines: 31 Message-ID: <3bksus$fg4@spruce.cic.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: locust.cic.net I'm not much of a System V user, and I've always been lazy and fooled with compatibility libs on most SVR[34] machines (I know I know, for shame) to get bzero, bcopy and bcmp functionality. Anyway, now I have to build BSD telnetd for a Sequent running DYNIX/ptx 2.1.0 and lo, it's just SVR3(?) no compatibility anything. So anyway, for example, we have a bcopy in slc.c: /* * save this slc buffer if it is the first, otherwise dump * it. */ if (def_slcbuf == (unsigned char *)0) { def_slclen = len; def_slcbuf = (unsigned char *)malloc((unsigned)len); if (def_slcbuf == (unsigned char *)0) return; /* too bad */ bcopy(ptr, def_slcbuf, len); } What should that bcopy() look like to make this SVR3 system happy? Is there a "right" way to implement bcopy() etc on this system so I could generate my own compatibility library and not bother with altering the code every time? Working with gcc 2.6.2 if it matters. -- Paul Southworth CICNet Systems Support pauls@cic.net
