Description a b 2005-11-26 10:27:23 UTC

While running makedepend. i got the following warnings:

makedepend: warning:  /usr/include/pcap.h:  non-portable whitespace encountered at line 41
makedepend: warning:  /usr/include/pcap.h:  non-portable whitespace encountered at line 43
makedepend: warning:  /usr/include/pcap.h:  non-portable whitespace encountered at line 44
makedepend: warning:  /usr/include/pcap.h:  non-portable whitespace encountered at line 46
makedepend: warning:  /usr/include/pcap.h:  non-portable whitespace encountered at line 47


The problem are lines like that:

#if defined(WIN32)
  #include <pcap-stdinc.h>
#elif defined(MSDOS)

removing the whitespace in front of #include silence the warning.
( see bug:135583)

This is perfectly OK as ANSI C89 allows this. Makedepend is just a relict from the pre-ANSI days.
