The standard is silent on the issue, therefore it is unspecified and not conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations. Concerns should be forwarded to the sponsor. Its recommended that ina future revision the specification should state explicity that this is unspecified. XCU ERN 162 Accept XCU ERN 153 OPEN Andrew has drafted wording below, which needs checking: In c99 Extended DESCRIPTION Add to the end of the -l pthread text Applications using this library shall also specify an additional getconf call to obtain the flags associated, if any, with reentrant programming Add a new variable for getconf, Add to the sysconf() man page _POSIX_V7_REENTRANT_CFLAGS _SC_POSIX_V7_REENTRANT_CFLAGS Add to unistd.h _CS_POSIX_V7_REENTRANT_CFLAGS If sysconf(_SC_V7_REENTRANT_CFLAGS) returns −1, the meaning of this value is unspecified. Otherwise, this value is the additional set of initial options to be given to the c99 utility to build an application using the pthread standard library. _POSIX_V7_REENTRANT_CFLAGS that should only be used if and only if you use -lpthread XCU ERN 152 Accept as marked below Change "Set by the shell to the decimal process ID of the process that invoked this shell." to "Set by the shell to the decimal value of its parent process ID during initialization of the shell."
