 _____________________________________________________________________________

	Topic:			visibility of symbols part 2
	Relevant Sections:	pthread.h
	Spec:			XSH Issue 5

Resolution Request:
-------------------

ISO 9945-1:1996 11.3.1.2 is quiet on the issue of whether
the symbol PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED must be defined in pthread.h
when the symbol _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED is NOT defined.


Resolution response
------------------------

POSIX.1-1996 doesn't require PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to be defined in 
normative text, but implies it
should be defined in Annex C, P594, L220.  XSH5 requires that it be
defined on P1011, L32190.      

No change is required to the specification.

Rationale
-------------
None.
