That sounds like the wrong approach to me ... could you please try to fix the check in "configure" instead? E.g. by running compile_prog with "-Werror", so that the test fails if there is no valid prototype available? Thomas

Xcode 11 and below (supporting macOS 10.15 and below, iOS 13 and below, etc) does not have preadv/pwritev symbols defined and would fail to compile. Xcode 12 (supporting macOS 11 and below, iOS 14 and below, etc) have preadv/pwritev weakly defined so if it runs on, for example, 10.15, it would abort. There is no way to determine at compile time if you can use preadv/pwritev or not when building with Xcode 12. The availability checks are Apple's preferred way to handle this kind of situation (they discourage directly checking if an API exists on a system). -j > > Thomas >

In any way, that "users.noreply.github.com" does not look like a valid e-mail address and should be replaced. >> >>> macOS 11/iOS 14 added preadv/pwritev APIs.

Ok, got it now, thanks for the detailed explanation! Thomas
