Why does /usr/include/cygwin/types.h include /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h ? As far as I {and find /usr/include/ /usr/local/include/ -name *.h | xargs egrep -n '\b(major|minor) *\(' } can see, the "major" and "minor" macros are not used by any system header. These macros don't follow the usual C/C++ coding convention of all-uppercase macro names and just caused some ... interesting errors in the project I'm working on. If any program needs sys/sysmacros.h, it should #include the header explicitly.
