Bug#593803: libphobos-4.1-dev: std.c.linux.socket only works on X86
Package: libphobos-4.1-dev
Version: 0.25-4.1.2-23.2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
std.c.linux.socket only works on X86 because of
"version(X86) ... else static assert(0);" in lines 70ff.
I know this is fixed in the 4.3 package, but it would be really nice if
I could use std.c.linux.socket on lenny on non-X86 (especially amd64)
platforms without backporting gdc-4.3.
A quick look at libphobos-4.3-dev's std.c.linux.socket tells me that
removing this "else static assert(0);" case would probably not break
anything for platforms != X86 (even though the original author of that
file seemed to assume that, according to his comment) - at least it
wouldn't be more broken than the 4.3 version ;-)
Cheers,
- Daniel
