I can confirm that Jesse's patch allows multiprocessing to compile on
Solaris 10. Note, however, that there are other symbolic constants
defined which contain "SEM_VALUE_MAX", all with widely differing
underlying values:
% find /usr/include -name '*.h' | xargs egrep SEM_VALUE_MAX
/usr/include/sys/param.h:#define _SEM_VALUE_MAX INT_MAX
/usr/include/sys/sysconfig.h:#define _CONFIG_SEM_VALUE_MAX 21
/* max. value a semaphore may have */
/usr/include/sys/unistd.h:#define _SC_SEM_VALUE_MAX
37
/usr/include/limits.h:#define _POSIX_SEM_VALUE_MAX 32767
How do we know that _SEM_VALUE_MAX is the proper rvalue to use when
#define-ing SEM_VALUE_MAX?
Richard, as the author of the original processing module do you have
something to contribute to this discussion? You've been completely
silent on this issue.
