Created attachment 138376 [details] [review] Add missing time.h plus minor cleanup I'm attaching a patch to fix a broken build on some platforms (notable FreeBSD and NetBSD). Since the time headers are needed in gfile.h not just in gfile.cc, I moved inclusion of time.h there and made a minor cleanup of code. Note that #include <ctime.h> does not exist (not even on Mac), it's either <ctime> or <time.h>. I tested it and that fails. That said, #elif defined(MACOS) is not defined either, so it doesn't really do any harm, but it's of no use. I had to patch poppler/Form.h in the released version because it also lacked time headers. When preparing the patch I noticed it was already fixed upstream, but if all other headers are included like <set> and <vector>, meaning that it's C++ anyway, so it also made more sense to use <ctime> rather than <time.h>. That one is optional though, it's just cosmetics.
Thanks for the patch :) I've commited only the compile fix. The MACOS thing is interesting and someone should really have a look at all those ifdefs and see if we can just simply remove them or what. The other one as you said it's cosmetics and i didn't change it.
Thank you. The #ifdef MACOS is in fact used all over the place and I have absolutely no clue what it does. It could be that some ancient version of xpdf would add that definition somehow to help compilation on super old systems. See https://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/OperatingSystems/ for existing definitions. Even if MACOS was defined on version Mac OS 8 or 9 (which probably wasn't the case), this would not really help anyone. Poppler can only be compiled on a relatively new macOS version (10.9 or newer out of the box, potentially on older ones with a lot of additional effort, but I bet nobody would dare to compile it on 10.3). I see there are some parts of the code related to different newline character (CR instead of LF). See https://superuser.com/a/439443 I bet that any code doing #ifdef MACOS can be removed without doing any harm whatsoever. But sure, a separate commit makes sense.
