Onitake, a MacOS X user from Chaostreff Basel, has recently sent in a bug report to the authors of curl-loader, a HTTP load generator.
In this bug report, Onitake complains about the lack of portability in curl, which uses the glibc<2.4-only feature of a definition of PAGE_SIZE in a system header named <asm/page.h>. The POSIX base specification issue 6 (xpg6) defines a portable interface named sysconf to access system information such as the page size. Additionally, the definition was removed from <asm/page.h> in recent versions of the GNU libc, making this definition a no-go for the future.
In this light, the response of the developers seems even more blatant:
1. When asm/page.g is not defined there is a custom definition of PAGE_SIZE. 2. We do not care about neither non-linux platforms, nor about POSIX. Thanks, however, for your caring and attention. Closed, Robert Iakobashvili
