Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I just tried compiling qemu on my Mac and I see a warning when it compiles: cutils.c: In function ‘qemu_fdatasync’: cutils.c:128: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘fdatasync’ I'm running OS X 10.6.2 with Xcode 3.2.1. Why this behavior? Because the configure check introduced in 5f6b9e finds that fdatasync is available. Although the fdatasync function is not referenced in the standard includes (hence the warning), it is present as a syscall: /usr/include/sys/syscall.h:#define SYS_fdatasync 187 Moreover, a fdatasync symbol is available through libSystem (which is why the linking done by the configure check works). It's not clear what is the best solution here. Googling the issue, some projects add the fdatasync prototype to their headers to avoid warnings. Other assume that fdatasync could be a noop and fall back to fsync. I would go with the second second: the function is not defined, there is no man page, let's assume it doesn't work. To fix the configure check we can simply add -Werror to the compile_prog cflags (I will send a patch if you agree with this).

I'd rather add something like #ifdef __APPLE__ exit(1); #endif (or the shell equivalent for configure) and a comment with your explanation.

I'm fine with that too.

With --disable-werror it compiles just fine. So I think we're rather missing a header include. Alex

But in this case it may: i took a look at the XNU sources (I didn't think about this solution first, I forgot it was open source...) and fdatasync appears to be implemented. So I guess that we can probably add the missing prototype in one of our header?
