The 'random_r' module is supposed to implement the glibc API. But it fails to override the native API on AIX and OSF/1. Comparison:
glibc API: int random_r (struct random_data *buf, int32_t *result); int srandom_r (unsigned int seed, struct random_data *buf); int initstate_r (unsigned int seed, char *statebuf, size_t statelen, struct random_data *buf); int setstate_r (char *statebuf, struct random_data *buf); AIX, OSF/1 API: int random_r ({int,long} *result, struct random_data *buf); int srandom_r (unsigned int seed, struct random_data *buf); int initstate_r (unsigned int seed, char *statebuf, {int|size_t} size, char **retval, struct random_data *buf); int setstate_r (char *state, char **retval, struct random_data *buf); On AIX, the declarations are not present if -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_THREAD_SAFE are not defined. And on OSF/1 the declarations occur in <random.h>, not in <stdlib.h>. So, rather than testing whether the declarations are present or not, simply test whether the host OS is AIX or OSF/1. I'm committing this, so that recutils (which uses the 'random_r' module) can make a release tomorrow. 2012-01-12 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> random_r: Override incompatible API on AIX, OSF/1. * lib/stdlib.in.h (random_r, srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r): Override the system function if REPLACE_RANDOM_R is 1. * m4/random_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_RANDOM_R): Require AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
