Use TSD4U.00039 instead. Problem Text This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use TSD4U.00039 instead. Reference: TSD4U.00039 for VSU4.0.2 execl() Test 1 fails because the test thinks the interval timers are not properly preserved across the execl() call. However, the test is requesting a finer granularity than is allowed by the impementation, and according to CASPEC (on the getitimer page), the value may be rounded up to the next supported value. Specifically, the test is requesting a it_interval.tv_usec value of 89 and reading back a value of 10000. If the test wants to check the behavior of execl(), it should instead compare the values returned by getitimer() before and after the execl(), and NOT compare the original value passed to setitimer(). The following tests also fail for this reason: execle() Test 1 execlp() Test 1 execv() Test 1 execve() Test 1 execvp() Test 1 Test Output TEST CASE: execl TEST PURPOSE #1 A successful call to int execl(const char *path, const char *arg0, .../*, (char *)0 */) shall preserve interval timers across the call.
