POSIX symbolics in bits/posix_opt.h


From: Michael M. Lampkin
Subject: POSIX symbolics in bits/posix_opt.h
Date: 25 Nov 2002 04:20:14 -0800

I tried querying the bug database before sending this ~ but it appears
that system is having a nervous breakdown which is why I am sending it
directly and the following may be a repeat.

Anyway, the bits/posix_opt.h file (included as part of unistd.h) appears
to define many of the POSIX symbolics to 200912L instead of the
specified 200112L.

I realize this isn't technically a "bug" but have worries that problems
may occur when future updates to 1003.1 are made and code (for example)
such as the following appears:

#if   (_POSIX_BARRIERS <= 0)
...
#elif (_POSIX_BARRIERS == 200112L)
...
#else /* > 200212L */
...
#endif


Thanks for your time,

Michael M. Lampkin
