From: Ned Konz Date: 2001-07-28T00:51:49+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:18642] discrepancies between prototypes and definitions? Looking more at the Ruby 1.6.4 source, I note that some functions are prototyped, and others aren't. For instance, in intern.h, shouldn't the declaration of rb_thread_select() have prototypes available for those compilers that can use them? It's in there as int rb_thread_select(); right now; why isn't it: int rb_thread_select _((int, fd_set*, fd_set*, fd_set*, struct timeval*)); instead?
