Re: {bb} wrong history

["Matthias Schreiber" <compeiler@gmx.net>]

Hi Henrik!

I found the Error in the Source Code which is responsible for the wrong
history file. In OpenBSD, at least in OpenBSD for Solaris64, the time_t is
not equal to long but just to int. So in bbd.c in line 1791 the fscanf
receives not the correct time for lasttime. I changed in bbd.c the
declaration from time_t lasttime; to long lasttime; and it seems to work...
Ok. Just had 1 hour test for now... erhaps now something else isn't
working... but the problem definitely is in the wrong declaration of the
time_t...

Here are the definitions of _BSD_TIME_T_ and time_t in OpenBSD...:

/usr/include/sparc64/ansi.h:#define     _BSD_TIME_T_            int         
   /* time() */
/usr/include/sys/types.h:#ifdef _BSD_TIME_T_
/usr/include/sys/types.h:typedef        _BSD_TIME_T_    time_t;
/usr/include/sys/types.h:#undef _BSD_TIME_T_
/usr/include/time.h:#ifdef      _BSD_TIME_T_
/usr/include/time.h:typedef     _BSD_TIME_T_    time_t;
/usr/include/time.h:#undef      _BSD_TIME_T_
/usr/include/utime.h:#ifdef     _BSD_TIME_T_
/usr/include/utime.h:typedef    _BSD_TIME_T_    time_t;
/usr/include/utime.h:#undef     _BSD_TIME_T_

Hope anybody could evaluate those settings for the OpenBSD Sparc64
environment...
Thanks

Matthias
