| Summary | 0000405: inconsistent rationale | ||||
| Description | Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 700 states that the application wants an environment conforming the SUSv7; not just some SUS. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change "Version X" on P3499, L117672 to "Version 7" in the TC and make sure that this field is updated along with the value assigned to _XOPEN_SOURCE as part of future revision projects. | ||||

Here is a proposed action that takes into account the request above as well as the note about the _POSIX_C_SOURCE text immediately above it. REPLACE page 3499 lines 117653 through 117675 with: The _POSIX_C_SOURCE Feature Test Macro The POSIX.1-1990 standard specified a macro called _POSIX_SOURCE. This has been superseded by _POSIX_C_SOURCE. This symbol will allow implementations to support various versions of this standard simultaneously. For instance, when _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined as 200809L, the system should make visible the same name space as permitted and required by the POSIX.1-2008 standard. A special case is the one where the implementation wishes to make available support for the 1990 version of the POSIX standard, in which instance when either _POSIX_SOURCE is defined or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined as 1, the system should make visible the same name space as permitted and required by the POSIX.1-1990 standard. It is expected that C bindings to future POSIX standards will define new values for _POSIX_C_SOURCE, with each new value reserving the name space for that new standard. The _XOPEN_SOURCE Feature Test Macro The feature test macro _XOPEN_SOURCE is provided as the announcement mechanism for the application that it requires functionality from the Single UNIX Specification. _XOPEN_SOURCE must be defined to the value 700 before the inclusion of any header to enable the functionality in the Single UNIX Specification Version 4. Its definition subsumes the use of _POSIX_C_SOURCE. An extract of code from a conforming application, that appears before any #include statements, is given below: #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 700 /* Single UNIX Specification, Version 4 */ #include ... Note that the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE with the value 700 makes the definition of _POSIX_C_SOURCE redundant and it can safely be omitted. |
