https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243177 --- Comment #3 from Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com> --- It has been nearly 5 years since I created this PR, so it is understandably difficult for me to re-create, in my mind, the full context for my request / suggestion, however re-reading the PR now, I *do not* feel that it is appropriate to simply close this PR because, in an ideal world, it would be Best if some upstream standardization group tackled this issue before FreeBSD addresses it. In an ideal world, yes, that's probably true, but had FreeBSD never gotten out in front to solve problems that standardization groups have not yet adequately addressed? Nor, may I say, am I immediately persuaded by the argument that "race conditions may exist anyway so screw it". Perhaps this is just a product of my own ignorance, in which case some code (or pseudo code) example which illustrates this argument might be helpful. P.S. Running low on flag bits is the LEAST persuasive argument for doing nothing in this case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
