Summary 0000103: pthread_sigmask safety
Description _____________________________________________________________________________
 OBJECTION Enhancement Request Number 32
 gwc:xxxxxxxxxxxxx Defect in XSH 2.4.3 (rdvk# 2)
 [gwc pthread_sigmask safety] Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:27:45 +0100
 _____________________________________________________________________________

The description of pthread_sigmask() says:

     The function shall be equivalent to sigprocmask(), without the
     restriction that the call be made in a single-threaded process.

 Since sigprocmask() is async-signal-safe, this equivalence implies
 that pthread_sigmask() is also async-signal-safe. However, it is
 not listed as such in 2.4.3.
Desired Action Add pthread_sigmask() to the list of async-signal-safe functions.
Tags No tags attached.
