1) I THINK these files are often a pretty direct translation of /usr/include, dead stuff, comments, and all. Posix often mandates that certain types are certain headers, even if they aren't used by any function in that header.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Utime.i3 would declare time_t not necessarily for its own purposes but so that C code (nonsense example but ok):<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
#include <time.h><BR>
<BR>
int main()<BR>
{<BR>
time_t t = 0;<BR>
/* ... */<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
translates "directly" to Modula-3 (ha):<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
IMPORT Utime;<BR>
VAR<BR>
t: Utime.time_t := 0<BR>
BEGIN<BR>
(* ... *)<BR>
END Main.<BR>
<BR><BR>2) Almost everything in m3core/src/unix is dead anyway, outside of the common directory, and Usysdeps.i3, and the userthread support.<BR>
Look at the m3makefile. It is mostly if'ed out.<BR>
The only active platforms using their own full assortment of cloned /usr/include are I386_DARWIN and AMD64_DARWIN..until I get around to them. If OpenDarwin/x86 7.0 will run in a VM, I386_DARWIN will fall soon. AMD64_DARWIN must wait for additional hardware, or someone else to switch it (Tony?)<BR>
