[lttng-dev] userspace-rcu-0.8.6 problems on MacOSX

[Alexandre Montplaisir]

Hi,

Technically, liburcu is not supported on Mac, but if we can easily make 
it work, why not try!

I tried compiling it on an OS X system (Yosemite, autoconf/automake 
installed from Homebrew), but got many errors like this one:

In file included from wfcqueue.c:26:

./urcu/static/wfcqueue.h:260:22: error: passing 'struct __cds_wfcq_head *' to parameter of incompatible type 'cds_wfcq_head_ptr_t'

         if (_cds_wfcq_empty(head, tail))

                             ^~~~

./urcu/static/wfcqueue.h:132:56: note: passing argument to parameter 'u_head' here

static inline bool _cds_wfcq_empty(cds_wfcq_head_ptr_t u_head,

                                                        ^

What steps did you use to make it compile?

Cheers,
Alexandre
