Coding Guidelines/Compiler Features

Amanda assumes the following are available during compilation:

• C99 compiler (gcc or vendor compiler)
  • http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-c99.html
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)#C99
• GNU make
• basic shell tools to run 'autoconf' (including sed and awk)

We work hard to eliminate compiler warnings. The glib symbol G_GNUC_UNUSED can be used to avoid warnings about unused parameters:

void
my_callback(int fd, G_GNUC_UNUSED user_data) { ... }
