Eastwood #1 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: pthread_cancel Relevant Sections: pthread.h Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- pthread_cancel() is missing from ISO 9945-1:1996 2.7.3 for pthread.h. The synopsis in 18.2.1 has it in pthread.h. (XSH Issue 5 has it in pthread.h) Resolution response ------------------------ The synopsis (P559, L18763-18764) must not change (it currently matches POSIX.1-1996). The test suite should allow the prototype for pthread_cancel() to appear in either <pthread.h> or <unistd.h> for POSIX.1 compliance and <pthread.h> only for UNIX 98 conformance. This was filed as PASC Interp 1003.1c #41, and the committee has raised concerns with the sponsor: "It is the opinion of the interpretations committee that this is not what the working and balloting groups intended but rather that pthread_cancel() be defined in pthread.h. This is being referred to the sponsor for consideration." Rationale ------------- None. Forwarded to Base group: Nov 27 1996 Updated: 2nd July 1997 Approved: Feb 1998
