Eastwood #8 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: EINTR and Aspen Relevant Sections: n/a Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- Can you confirm that the 9945-1:1996 requirement in 2.4 that no function is allowed to return EINTR unless explicitly specified is also a requirement on the following (Aspen) functions pthread_attr_getguardsize() pthread_attr_setguardsize() pthread_getconcurrency() pthread_setconcurrency() pthread_mutexattr_gettype() pthread_mutexattr_settype() pthread_rwlock_*() pthread_rwlockattr_*() Resolution Response ------------------- Yes, This section says "For interfaces under the {_POSIX_THREADS} option for which [EINTR] is not listed as a possible error return in this standard, an implementation shall not return an error code of [EINTR]." This applies to the Aspen threads extensions. Rationale ------------- None. Forwarded to Base group: Dec 11 1996 Approved: Feb 1998
