    Problem Report Number 1063
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Rejected (REJ)
    Problem Resolution ID REJ.X.0300
    Raised 1970-01-01 08:00
    Updated 2003-03-13 08:00
    Published null
    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended V2 (UNIX 98)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSRT version 5.0.1
    Test Identification rt.os/semaphores/sem_post 2
    Problem Summary PG4R.00004 These tests will fail on implementations where the size of an int is less than the size of a pointer.
    Problem Text

    The following VSRT test cases are failing

    rt.os/semaphores/sem_post/T.sem_post 2 Failed
    rt.os/semaphores/sem_wait/T.sem_wait 2 Failed
    rt.os/semaphores/sem_wait/T.sem_wait 3 Failed

    because of the following use of a int address being passed as an argument
    to pthread_join():

    int err, retval;

    pthread_join(thr_main, (void **)&retval)

    The XSH5 synopsis for the function on page 628

    int pthread_join(pthread_t thread, void **valid_ptr);

    expects a value of pointer size for the resulting location for **valid_ptr.

    The retval is declared to be an int instead of a pointer type. The current
    implementation under test is executing with pointers being 64 bits long.
    The result is memory being overwritten in unexpected ways with strange
    and unexpected failures from the tests. Additional affected files are
