| Summary | 0001906: Mention O_CLOEXEC and O_CLOFORK in the unistd.h change history. | ||||
| Description | In POSIX Issue 8: The <unistd.h> header shall define the symbolic constants O_CLOEXEC and O_CLOFORK as described in <fcntl.h>. This is not required in POSIX Issue 7 and took me a while to notice. The closest entry in the "CHANGE HISTORY" is: Austin Group Defects 411 and 598 are applied, adding dup3() and pipe2(). Since this is the rational behind defining the flags in unistd.h. Furthermore, in POSIX Issue 8: Inclusion of the <unistd.h> header may make visible all symbols from the headers <fcntl.h>, <stddef.h>, <stdint.h>, and <stdio.h>. In POSIX Issue 7, fcntl.h was missing from this list: Inclusion of the <unistd.h> header may make visible all symbols from the headers <stddef.h>, <stdint.h>, and <stdio.h>. There was a similar change in stdlib.h that got a change in an entry in CHANGE HISTORY: Austin Group Defects 593 and 1350 are applied, adding some O_* symbolic constants and allowing <stdlib.h> to make visible all symbols from <fcntl.h>. Can something similar be added for unistd.h? I think it will make it more clear. | ||||
| Desired Action | Add text similar the the following in CHANGE HISTORY for Issue 8 of unistd.h: Added the O_CLOEXEC and O_CLOFORK constants and allowing <unistd.h> to make visible all symbols from <fcntl.h>. | ||||

I see what happened here. The text was added by bug 0000598, which was a tweak to the changes in bug 0000411, so when I applied it I just updated the change history line for bug 411 to say "and 598". I agree that it would be better to give details of what 598 changed. On page 479 line 16887, change: Austin Group Defects 411 and 598 are appliedto: Austin Group Defect 411 is applied After page 479 line 16890, add: Austin Group Defect 598 is applied, adding the O_CLOEXEC and O_CLOFORK constants and allowing <unistd.h> to make visible all symbols from <fcntl.h>. |
