    Problem Summary PIN4U.00015 Considering makecontext has no return value, we believe that requiring it to set errno to ENOMEM if insufficient stack space exists is questionable.
    Problem Text
    Note: Please refer to PG4U.00027.
    Please refer to X/Open Interpretation #1170/158.
    The Original Reference Number is req.4.U.00091.

    This waiver has been refused, however, in light of X/Open
    Interpretation 1170/158 we request that it now be granted.

    Test2: Expects ENOMEM set for insufficient stack space
    yet makecontext() is defined as a void. Is it normal to
    have a void function set an errno when it does not return
    a -1?
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: makecontext

    TEST PURPOSE #2
    ENOMEM in errno on a call to void
    makecontext(uncontext_t *ucp, (void *func)(), int
    argc, ...) when ucp does not have enough stack left to
    complete the operation.

    TEST: makecontext sets ENOMEM in errno
    ERROR: makecontext failed, errno = 0(0 - No error)
    2 FAIL
