I want to conditionalize ONLY getpwuid_r, and not strerror_r and gethostbyname_r.
So, I changed the NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES to no, or undefined in the template, and need a configure check to set HAVE_GETPWUID_R, so we will use getpwuid_r in the ENABLE_THREADS case.
UnixWare does NOT have strerror_r nor does it have gethostbyname_r, and the libc versions are reentrant in libc, for those 2. We need to use getpwuid_r for threaded apps.
Does this clarify things?
Yes, and that is the complex part because _some_ non-*_r functions are thread-safe, and some are not. I have to determine if we have other such platforms before I figure out how to fix it in the cleanest way.
In most platforms that are like this, I think, they have all the *_r functions even if all of them are not required.
it does NOT have gethostbyname_r (on 5.1-CURRENT as of last nite).
It does have getpwuid_r and strerror_r.
FWIW.
