Synopsis: sigaltstack is missing in libc_r State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: deischen State-Changed-When: Mon Feb 2 16:07:13 PST 2004 State-Changed-Why: libc_r is not going to have sigaltstack(). It was modeled after the '96 POSIX spec which said that use of sigaltstack() in a threaded application was undefined. The 200x POSIX spec allows sigaltstack() for threads mapped to kernel schedulable entities and libpthread provides this. libc_r is being deprecated in favor of libpthread, so if you want sigaltstack(), use libpthread. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35622
