Eastwood #5 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: pthread_attr_getguardsize and EINTR Relevant Sections: pthread_attr_getguardsize Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- The X/Open CAE CR specifies a return code of EINVAL for pthread_attr_getguardsize when: a) the attr object is invalid b) the parameter guardsize is invalid c) the parameter guardsize contains an invalid value but does not specify what an invalid value is. Is this intentional ? Also, it seems obvious that item (c) only applies to the pthread_attr_setguardsize function, but it isn't clearly stated. Resolution Response ------------------- Yes this is intentional, no value is reserved to be invalid by the specification. Yes item (c) only applies to the pthread_attr_setguardsize function, however we believe this is clearly stated by the specification. No change to the specification is needed. Rationale ------------- None. Forwarded to Base group: Dec 11 1996 Approved: Feb 23 1998
