Error description

  • Recent versions of gcc (such as 4.2 for AIX 6.1 from the
    AIX Linux Toolbox) will give an error when compiling a
     program that includes the
    /usr/include/netinet/in6_var.h file:
    
    test.c:
    -----------------
    #include <net/if.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    #include <netinet/in6_var.h>
    
    int main () {
    
      return(1);
    }
    -----------------
    
    # gcc -c test.c
    In file included from test.c:3:
    /usr/include/netinet/in6_var.h:65: error: array type
     has incomplete element type
    

Local fix

  • Workaround:
    Add '#include <sys/protosw.h>' to your code first, if you
    are planning to include netinet/in6_var.h.
    

Problem summary

  • compilation failurewith gcc 4.2 when in6_var.h is included
    

Problem conclusion

  • include protosw.h before extern declaration of inet6sw
