Thread: global symbol conflict in test/pgtypeslib/dt_test2.pgc

global symbol conflict in test/pgtypeslib/dt_test2.pgc

From

On an HPUX machine I notice this build warning:

ld: Type mismatch for symbol "times"; resolving FUNC symbol (in file /usr/lib/pa20_64/libc.sl) to OBJECT symbol (in
filedt_test2.o) 

It'd probably be a good idea if dt_test2.pgc did not declare a global
symbol conflicting with a standard library function name:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/times.html

Perhaps you could just make those arrays "static"?
