Fix for Dalvik compile error on CyanogenMod 9

I started getting this error while compiling CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.x) last week:

dalvik/vm/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.cpp: In function ‘int setrlimitsFromArray(ArrayObject*)’:
dalvik/vm/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.cpp:199:19: error: aggregate ‘setrlimitsFromArray(ArrayObject*)::rlimit rlim’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined
     struct rlimit rlim;
                   ^
dalvik/vm/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.cpp:222:43: error: ‘setrlimit’ was not declared in this scope
         err = setrlimit(contents[0], &rlim);
                                           ^
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libdvm_intermediates/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I’m not sure if it’s due to a recent Arch Linux change or what, but it seems the fix is simply to add #include <sys/resource.h> to dalvik/vm/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.cpp. Here’s a diff:

  1. Unrelated to the post,

    Thanks for getting rid of the blue overlays on the blog. Much more readable (I’m blue-colorblind). At least these weird greyish hues that made reading the blog’s text a pain in the past are gone.
