I think you must be reading a different version of POSIX to me. My version says that symbols ending with "_t" may be defined in any header; but not that they cannot be used in non-headers. If one wished to write code which was guaranteed to work on any conforming POSIX system, one would naturally wish to avoid symbols which might legitimately be defined in headers; but as long as we're concerned with one specific system which happens to not define the symbol "_t" in any header, this is a non-issue. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
