            Bug ID: 206146
           Summary: fileno(3) should be implemented as a function; need to
                    check other functions as well
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: standards
          Assignee: freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: delphij@FreeBSD.org

Currently, fileno(3) is implemented as a macro in stdio.h:

#define fileno(p)       (!__isthreaded ? __sfileno(p) : (fileno)(p))

Per discussion with lichray, because this is a macro, it could cause namesp=
ace
collision with C++ programs that uses the same name, and that could potenti=
ally
a problem when porting applications to FreeBSD.

POSIX, on the other hand, defines fileno as a function.
