I'd say it's appropriate, but only if flockfile/funlockfile exist. They don't exist on all platforms. POSIX says they're optional; they're part of the Thread Safe Functions extension. On platforms where they don't exist, you can define them to be no-ops, as unlocked-io does. Applications that are using unlocked-io should also make them no-ops. > getndelim2 does not appear to do any locking, though. Correct. Currently it's used only by single-threaded apps. It could be upgraded to multithreaded, using the same technique that you are using for getdelim. _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
