Using h_errno, errno etc Cygwin DLL globals [Re: Making wget]

Thu Jan 27 05:06:00 GMT 2000

Since we're on the topic of netdb.h and h_errno, has anyone
noticed that in the recent snapshots the symbol that appears
in libcygwin.a doesn't agree with the definition in netdb.h:
 nm libcygwin.a | grep h_errno
 00000000 ? __imp__h_errno

 netdb.h
 extern int * __imp_h_errno;
 #define h_errno (*__imp_h_errno)

I think it should be (s/_h/__h/):
 extern int * __imp__h_errno;
 #define h_errno (*__imp__h_errno)
or reworked as:
 extern int __declspec(dllimport) h_errno;
