They are often not even available on Unix. Older POSIX standards didn't specify if they had to be functions or macros. Newer do, but it is often ignored (though improving across the line) Note that it is moot anyway, since FPC can do sockets communication without communicating with libc, and linking in libc for these functions alone would decrease cross-distribution compatibility for simple programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
