/* * POSIX allows PATH_MAX to not be defined, see * http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sysconf.html; * the GNU Hurd is an example of a system not having it. * * Arguably, it would be better to test sysconf(_SC_PATH_MAX), * but since the individual *.c files include "config.h" before * , overriding an excessive value of PATH_MAX from * "config.h" is impossible anyway, so for now, the simplest * fix is to provide a value only on systems not having any. * So far, we encountered no system defining PATH_MAX to an * impractically large value, even though POSIX explicitly * allows that. * * The real fix would be to replace all static buffers of size * PATH_MAX by dynamically allocated buffers. But that is * somewhat intrusive because it touches several files and * because it requires changing struct mlink in mandocdb.c. * So i'm postponing that for now. */ #include #include int main(void) { printf("PATH_MAX is defined to be %ld\n", (long)PATH_MAX); return 0; }
