In the latest glibc, major() and minor() functions are marked as deprecated (glibc commit dbab6577):

For historical compatibility, it is currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to remove this soon. To use `major', include <sys/sysmacros.h> directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro `major', you should #undef it after including <sys/types.h>.

Applications are supposed to use gnu_dev_major() or gnu_dev_minor() respectively.
How does this work on non-gnu systems like *BSD / OS-X / Mingw[1] ? Regards, Daniel [1] Presumably our mingw setup doesn't build the files affected ? -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
