~lattis/muon#26: PATH_MAX is not always defined > It seems that you unconditionally use PATH_MAX in muon, but POSIX does > not require that macro to be defined, it says that it should only be > defined if the OS has an hard limit on path length. > > From the Posix specification, in <limits.h>, under the section "Pathname > Variable Values": "A definition of one of the symbolic constants in the > following list shall be omitted from the <limits.h> header on specific > implementations where the corresponding value is equal to or greater > than the stated minimum, but where the value can vary depending on the > file to which it is applied." > > For example, GNU Hurd does not define the macro. > > In their guidelines (under the section PATH_MAX, MAX_PATH, MAXPATHLEN, > _POSIX_PATH_MAX) they give some advice about how to handle this > situation, but I believe that setting PATH_MAX to the same size of MacOS > or Linux (with something like #ifndef PATH_MAX ...) should be enough.
