[M3devel] stat file types?

[Jay]

Hm. I was about to commit this and then I found:
 
 http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/sys/stat.h  http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libbc/inc/include/sys/stat.h 
 
One of these defines S_IFPORT, and it isn't equal to S_IFIFO.
The Modula-3 implementation is *perhaps* incorrect.
 
I don't yet have a Solaris install to see which of these is /usr/include/sys/stat.h and/or to determine what "the other" is.
 
I still haven't found any systems that define S_IFPIPE.

It SEEMS: S_IFPIPE appears to be made up by Modula-3.S_IFPORT appears to be made up by Modula-3 as a synonym for S_IFIFO. PROPOSED:This code:D:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\libm3\src\os\POSIX\FilePosix.i3(36):   error if "fd" is not "S_IFPIPE", "S_IFPORT", or "S_IFSOCK". *)D:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\libm3\src\os\POSIX\FilePosix.m3(47):    | Ustat.S_IFPIPE, Ustat.S_IFPORT, Ustat.S_IFSOCK => should check for S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO.all references to and definitions of S_IFPORT and S_IFPIPE should go away. Or did some actual systems actually define either of these? Most of the *.i3 files set S_IFPORT = S_IFIFO and S_IFPIPE = 0.Many of them say that there is no S_IFPIPE in their .h file.Irix has them reversed but the same result: S_IFPORT = 0 and S_IFPIPE = S_IFIFO. Any objections? - Jay
