Summary 0000315: sem_post maximum number of semaphores
Description  In the list of return values for sem_post,
 ( http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/sem_post.html [^]
 ) , no mention is made of the case when the semaphore has value of
 SEM_VALUE_MAX
 (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/limits.h.html [^]
 ). Althought this is an unlikely occurance I think a return value for
 this should be included in the standard.

Desired Action  Adding the condition and having it set errno as ERANGE would bring it
 in to line with semantics of semop from the Sys V / XSI semaphores.

Interpretation response
------------------------
The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such
no conformance distinction can be made between alternative
implementations based on this. This is being referred to the
sponsor.

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


Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
-------------------------------------------------------

Add an additional shall fail error condition

[EOVERFLOW] The maximum allowable value of the semaphore would be exceeded
