Another in this list did the same, I corrected him and here you're doing it again. Quite frankly I've had enough of the rudeness from this list. I saw questions here, I tried to answer them to the best of my ability and all I'm getting is ass whipping from people who don't even bother to read previous posts on the same topic, and quite a few who show an amazing level of emotional and technical ignorance. You can all take a running jump as far as I'm concerned. I'm not being paid to do this. I *was* trying to help. > Perhaps you can point us to the archives where all this discussion is > available? All ISO work is publicly documented from the usual channels, including rationales for all changes to draft standards documents. There's this website called "Google" which will amazingly tell you the answer. I even posted a link to the WG14 site in a previous post. Good luck with your C11 implementation freebsd-threads! I've had enough of this and I'm signing out. Oh, and merry christmas! Niall -- Technology & Consulting Services - ned Productions Limited. http://www.nedproductions.biz/. VAT reg: IE 9708311Q.
