Bug#673431: libkvm-dev: kvm.h requires sys/types.h



Package: libkvm-dev
Version: 9.0+ds1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

/usr/include/kvm.h requires sys/types.h:

  tokkee@kfreebsd:~$ cat kvm-test.c 
  #include <kvm.h>
  int main(void) { return 0; }
  tokkee@kfreebsd:~$ gcc kvm-test.c 
  In file included from kvm-test.c:1:0:
  /usr/include/kvm.h:45:1: error: unknown type name ‘__size_t’
  /usr/include/kvm.h:45:18: error: conflicting types for ‘size_t’
  In file included from /usr/include/machine/_types.h:8:0,
                   from /usr/include/sys/_types.h:33,
                   from /usr/include/kvm.h:37,
                   from kvm-test.c:1:
  /usr/include/machine-amd64/_types.h:85:20: note: previous declaration of ‘size_t’ was here

Including sys/types.h before kvm.h fixes that issue.

It would be nice if either kvm.h includes sys/types.h itself or if the
documentation mentions the fact, that sys/types.h needs to be included
first (which is not currently the case and which is why I think, this is
not intended and thus severity important ;-)).

TIA,
Sebastian
