Summary 0001328: posix_spawn lacks use of restrict
Description It looks like POSIX tries to uniformly apply restrict to any pointer (or potential pointer) argument of a function that takes multiple pointers that involve char*, void*, or identical types, where overlap between those pointers is not expected. However, on posix_spawn, this approach was not completely applied, and the file_actions parameter lacks a useful restrict designation.
Desired Action At page 341 line 11585, and page 342 line 11620 (<spawn.h> posix_spawn and posix_spawnp), change:
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *,
to
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict,


At page 1451 lines 48197 and 48201, and page 1489 line 49169 (posix_spawnp), change:
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *file_actions,
to
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict file_actions,
