Hi all,
I found some problem in sysconf() system call with respect to following
assertions defined in "IEEE std 2003.1 -1992 Test methods for measuring
conformance to POSIX-part1" document
10(A) If STREAM_MAX is defined when the header <limits.h> is included:
A call to sysconf(_SC_STREAM_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {STREAM_MAX}.
Otherwise:
A call to sysconf(_SC_STREAM_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {_POSIX_STREAM_MAX}.
11(A) If TZNAME_MAX is defined when the header <limits.h> is included:
A call to sysconf(_SC_TZNAME_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {TZNAME_MAX}.
Otherwise:
A call to sysconf(_SC_TZNAME_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {_POSIX_TZNAME_MAX}.
********when called with argument _SC_STREAM_MAX or _SC_TZNAME_MAX, It
returns -1 but set errno to 22 (EINVAL) but is should not modify its
value.
By looking into code, I found that sysconf() is not implemented for these
argument values! Is any one going to address these in near future?
Thanks and regards,
ghanshyam
