built_in: changed to not unconditionally define PAGE_SIZE
When building against musl libc I encountered following issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In file included from xmalloc.h:6:0, from xmalloc.c:17: built_in.h:181:0: warning: "PAGE_SIZE" redefined [enabled by default] In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:8:0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the POSIX standard PAGE_SIZE should be defined in <limits.h> [1] which is the case with musl libc if for example _GNU_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE are defined which both is the case in netsniff-ng sources. On my i686 test build the interesting part of <bits/limits.h> which itself gets included by <limits.h> looks like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #if defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) \ || defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) || defined(_GNU_SOURCE) || defined(_BSD_SOURCE) #define PAGE_SIZE 4096 #define LONG_BIT 64 #endif --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Besides that I noticed that currently getpagesize(2) is used, which is considered legacy and has been dropped with POSIX.1-2001 [2]. According to getpagesize(2) [2] portable applications should use sysconf(3) [3] By using getpagesize(2) unconditionally the intention was maybe to always use the run time configuration value of PAGE_SIZE as returned by the kernel. At least in the case of musl libc and applying this change this would not be the case anymore as the static PAGE_SIZE value from the header would be used!
