From b49ab5f4503f36dcbf43f821f817da66b2931fe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Weimer Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 08:54:57 +0200 Subject: Remove union wait [BZ #19613] The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the POSIX-specified int status type. --- NEWS | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index a06a42f..54ffb02 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -21,6 +21,10 @@ Version 2.24 * The readdir_r and readdir64_r functions have been deprecated.
