Summary 0000070: pthread_mutex_init() stds update
Description _____________________________________________________________________________
 COMMENT Enhancement Request Number 8
 nick:xxxxxxxxxx Bug in XSHd5.1 pthread_mutex_init (rdvk# 2)
 {nms-static-pthread} Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:48:52 +0100 (BST)
 _____________________________________________________________________________

The current requirements for pthread_mutex_init() were developed at a
 time when the C standard in force was C89, and as a result restrict
 initialization of mutex objects via the initializer
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to statically allocated objects only.

 C99 now permits structure copying, thus allowing
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to be used at other times.

 (Note, this aardvark is an action arising from the recent
 P1003.27 POSIX-C++ WG meeting, and is also relevant to the
 ISO C++ standard in development).
Desired Action At line 52378, delete the words "that are statically allocated".

 Interpretation response
------------------------
The standard states the requirements for pthread_mutex_init(),
and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns

-------------
None.
