It comes down to more issues with how IBM xlc handles (less elegantly) Compound Literals compared to GCC.

michael@x071:[/data/prj/aixtools/github/dovecot/x071-test]make -i >/dev/null "../../../../src/x071-test/src/plugins/quota/quota.c", line 382.17: 1506-196 (S) Initialization between types "char* const" and "struct quota_param_parser" is not allowed.

The above issues I resolved by changing

/*

• Sigh, xlc and Compound Literals
• struct quota_param_parser quota_param_hidden = {.param_name = "hidden", .param_handler = hidden_param_handler}; struct quota_param_parser quota_param_ignoreunlimited = {.param_name = "ignoreunlimited", .param_handler = ignoreunlim_param_handler}; struct quota_param_parser quota_param_noenforcing = {.param_name = "noenforcing", .param_handler = noenforcing_param_handler}; struct quota_param_parser quota_param_ns = {.param_name = "ns=", .param_handler = ns_param_handler}; */

to

#define quota_param_hidden {.param_name = "hidden", .param_handler = hidden_param_handler} #define quota_param_ignoreunlimited {.param_name = "ignoreunlimited", .param_handler = ignoreunlim_param_handler} #define quota_param_noenforcing {.param_name = "noenforcing", .param_handler = noenforcing_param_handler} #define quota_param_ns {.param_name = "ns=", .param_handler = ns_param_handler}

Unfortunately, this did not help quota-fs.c, so I move the defines to quota.h.

However, since hidden_param_handler() is defined as a static routine, it is not visible outside of quota.c. As such the error messages change from:

For me, this is a procedure declaration issue I may not resolve on my own - I must assume there is a reason that these routines are "static".

p.s. Once this is resolved I hope to be able to use "make check". I had to massage the Makefiles to get gnulib/getopt to link into dovecot. Once I can run "make check" I'll request help on how to get a new directory included in the Makefile list, and also assistance with making sure it can also work with out-of-tree builds.
