[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4057] apps/rehash.c fails to compile on Solaris (+ fix)

[Vladimir Kotal via RT]

apps/rehash.c fails to compile on Solaris and other systems that do not 
define NAME_MAX in limits.h.

Namely, Solaris has this comment in limits.h:

/*
  * POSIX 1003.1a, section 2.9.5, table 2-5 contains [NAME_MAX] and the
  * related text states:
  *
  * A definition of one of the values from Table 2-5 shall be omitted 
from the
  * <limits.h> on specific implementations where the corresponding value is
  * equal to or greater than the stated minimum, but where the value can 
vary
  * depending on the file to which it is applied. The actual value 
supported for
  * a specific pathname shall be provided by the pathconf() (5.7.1) 
function.
  *
  * This is clear that any machine supporting multiple file system types
  * and/or a network can not include this define, regardless of protection
  * by the _POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE flags.
  *
  * #define      NAME_MAX        14
  */


See pull request https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/408 for the 
actual fix.

Cheers,
