|
* 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
|
||
|
|
* <limits.h>, 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.
