I know for a fact that at least one function already in LSB and on the POSIX draft update for inclusion has been accepted.
If the POSIX draft (sign up for the austin group mailing list at https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/create_user.tpl?name=austin-group-l to get access), the LSB, and perhaps other implementations (*BSD, Microsoft?) have a compatible definition, I don't see the problem. Of course, for programs compiled with some -D limiting to a particular standard, it won't be visible until the latest rev is supported, but that would be true whether or not the function was available before the standard update was supported. :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
