getpass: get system declaration


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: getpass: get system declaration
Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2010 14:27:58 +0100
User-agent: KMail/1.9.9

On Solaris at least, getpass() is not declared in <unistd.h> or <stdlib.h> if
__EXTENSIONS__ is not defined. This fixes the autoconf test and the use of
<unistd.h> in lib/getpass.h.

By the way, on all systems (including glibc), getpass() is declared by
including <unistd.h>. I would propose to move its declaration in gnulib
from "getpass.h" to <unistd.h>, and to drop getpass.h. (getpass.h was
created in 2004, when we didn't have a <unistd.h> replacement.)
Objections?

        getpass: Make sure to get system declaration on some platforms.
        * m4/getpass.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETPASS, gl_FUNC_GETPASS_GNU): Require
        gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
        * modules/getpass (Depends-on): Add extensions.
