98 #003 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX Relevant Sections: limits.h, sysconf() Spec: XSH5 Resolution Request: ------------------- How accurate does the value returned by sysconf(_SC_THREAD_KEYS_MAX) have to be? Should an application be able to utilise the exact number returned ? Is an implementation allowed to use some keys in its system libraries? Is an implementation which claimed to provide a maximum of 256 (for example) thread specific data keys but actually could provide only 3 (to pick an extreme case) keys to an application (the rest being used by system libraries, etc) conforming? Resolution Response ------------------- Rationale ------------- None. Circulated for review: Mar 5 1998
