97 #005 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: pthread.h/time.h namespace Relevant Sections: time.h Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- There appears to be an oversight in time.h. pthread.h states that symbols from sched.h and time.h may be present. In time.h, the function timer_create() includes a struct sigevent as an argument. The VSTH (Threads) test suite identifies the sigevent structure as namespace pollution. time.h should have statement added of the form "The sigevent structure is defined as described in header file <signal.h>." Resolution Response ---------------------------- POSIX should allow inclusion of the symbols in the <signal.h> header when <time.h> included. A POSIX Interpretation request will be filed. Rationale ------------- Circulated for review: Jul 2nd 1997 Proposal re-circulated: 25th Sept 1997 Approved: Feb 1998
