Re: [posixtest-discuss] netbsd support for posix test suite

[Charles C. <cha...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

    I realized that my last email may be not easy to understand because all
changes are put in the same big
patch. I spend some time to refactor and split the big patch into a serious
of smaller ones. And these small
patches are organized based on features. Hope it 's much easier to
understand in this version.
We want to contribute to the community and any comments are welcome!

feature1,
use intmax_t/uintmax_t to make it compatible for different platforms. For
example, on LP32 systems some data structures like time_t could be long long

feature2, avoid shadowing of #define constants by prefixing them with MY_
