Max msuraev at sysmocom.deI'd like to share my opinion after recent experience with OpenGGSN. It's very portable - supports GNU/Linux, SunOS, FreeBSD and even Darwin. And that makes code into horrible mess of ifdefs which is hard to follow and update.

We can guess that it does but unless someone actually uses it on platform X on a regular basis, it's more of a handwaving: it can fail at runtime, it can fail due to some obscure configuration or file path differences etc. On the downside - it makes code more complex and harder to follow. I think we should only care about portability to platform X iff there's maintainer who cares about platform X. Someone who's willing to contribute his time (or money) into ensuring that Osmocom stack actually works on it (not just compiles). Otherwise all the efforts spent on making various compiler versions happy are simply wasted. -- Max Suraev <msuraev at sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Director: Harald Welte
