APR - part 2
Hiya,
I've a second APR related question. Some of the external prototypes use
APR_DECLARE(foo_t) and others do not. Notably apr_create_pool() has no such declaration
wheras apr_destroy_pool() does. Is this an oversight or is there a reason for the mix ??
Thanks,
Gregory Nicholls.

I apologise, I didn't realise there was an APR specific list ...

Feel free to supply a patch. I would ask that from now on questions about
APR should be sent to dev@apr.apache.org, which is the APR development
list. Many of the Apache developers also work on APR, but there are many
other APR developers who are not on new-httpd@apache.org.

I can do this if you like. Be warned that it will impact just about every source module. If
you want to leave it until a more opportune time it's not going to hurt me at all, I was just
curious.

It is a major oversight. The problem is that Unix doesn't tend to need
those things, so when APR was originally written, they were forgotten. As
we find them, we try to fix them, but we have had bigger issues on our
plate recently.
