Using svn version (as of today) of gtest with GCC gcc-4.2.4 on
OpenBSD-4.5-current.

I found this when trying to build LLVM (http://www.llvm.org), which uses
gtest. It seems the error is upstream, hence reporting here. When fixed the
LLVM guys will either update to a new version of gtest or patch the bug in
their tree.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.  We do not have the resources to port gtest to open BSD 
at
this time.  Instead, we hope open BSD users can contribute patches to make 
gtest work
there.

• Changed state: Accepted
• Added labels: Priority-Low, Type-Enhancement, Usability
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium, Type-Defect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Closing due to the lack of resources.  If someone submit a patch, we'll be glad 
to 
review it.
