---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003754) geoffclare (manager) - 2017-06-06 13:48 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1142#c3754 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The standard already requires pread() and pwrite() to be async-signal-safe. The fact that they are missing from the list in 2.4.3 is simply an editorial omission (and Daniel correctly classified this bug as such). This is because the description of pread() says "The pread() function shall be equivalent to read(), except that it shall read from a given position in the file without changing the file offset." In order for pread() not to be required to be async-signal-safe, the standard would instead have to say "The pread() function shall be equivalent to read(), except that it shall read from a given position in the file without changing the file offset and it need not be async-signal-safe." Likewise for pwrite().
