- While cleaning up our SVR4 header files, I ran across three files
- that I belive are dead in our source base and probably other SVR4
- source bases as well. I was wondering what they were used for and
- if there is any good reason for not just removing them.
-
- stand.h
- -------
- This file looks like it was used for building stand alone programs.
- (Programs that could run without the kernel.) The only place the
- file is referenced in our source base is in the S5 fsck utility
- inside a conditional (#ifdef STANDALONE) which is never turned on.
-
- stand.h has '#include <sys/inode.h>' which is a file that's never
- existed on our R4 systems, so I know no application has ever included
- <stand.h>.
-
- The file <sys/inode.h> exists on our R4 i386 reference box, but not
- ours. Should this be a dead file for other systems or is this an
- error on ours? I suspect the former.
-
- core.h
- ------
- This is a machine-dependent file which was never really ported to
- our R4 environment. It is not referenced anywhere in our R4 source
- base.
-
- This file on our sparc has the comment "from S5R2 1.3".
-
- prof.h
- ------
- This is another very machine-dependent file (asm()s only) which was
- never ported to our R4 environment. It is not referenced anywhere
- in our R4 source base.
-
-
- Has anyone run across other known dead files?
