struct iovec

{

void *iov_base;

size_t iov_len;

};

Its weird because, the preprocessor definition APR_WANT_IOVEC is not defined in the project, and in all the projects that I use and uses apr (log4cxx, activemqcpp...). I'd added a personal preprocessor definition and now it compiles, but, could cause any problem?

thanks!

I think that's the best solution for now. APR doesn't actually need
to define uid_t for its own purposes.

That general issue -- defining Unix types -- should be be fixed in the
next major (i.e., not binary compatible) release. In cases other than
uid_t there may be other fallout to handle. For example, apr_proc_t
uses (requires) pid_t.

According to our API compatibility rules, something equivalent to

#ifndef APR_PLEASE_DONT_DEFINE_UNIX_TYPES
typedef whatever uid_t
#endif

could be provided with apr 1.5.x. That would be worthwhile if the fix
could be near-complete. (I dunno the complete fallout.)
