It does not.<BR>It does not describe a "binary" interface, only a source interface.<BR>C code can call "open", but "open" does not necessarily exist in any .o or .a file.<BR>It can be #defined to something else, or renamed with a compiler-specific #pragma.<BR>I have seen both, not long ago, on mainstream systems. NetBSD comes to mind. And Solaris. And Linux (esp. wrt stat). And Darwin.<BR> <BR> <BR> - Jay <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Subject: Re: [M3devel] thread local storage, but in C pieces of runtime...
