    Problem Text
    provsetup.c includes the following declaration

    setstate(fd, curr_prov, state, oflag, qlen, bindret, slvbret, callret)

    System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4, Version 2, contains the
    following prototype for setstate:

    char *setstate(const char *state)

    which compares to the declaration of setstate in /usr/include/stdlib.h.
    The declaration of setstate in provsetup.c is not compliant.

    We need to be able to code a work-around in order to complete the
    installation of the test suite. The intent of the setstate command
    in provsetup.c is not clear. How should the setstate command be
    changed in provsetup.c to make it compliant and to have it execute
    the necessary function?
    Test Output

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The definition of setstate() in stdlib.h should only be visible when the
    feature test macro _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is set to 1. The VST test suite
    does not use this feature test macro and it may either have been introduced
    through changes made to the userintf.c file or there may be a fault in the
    implementations <stdlib.h> file. It should be possible to remedy either
    of these problems. The next version of the test suite has renamed the routine
    to stateset() to avoid the name clash, since the purpose of the test suite
    does not include the testing of the <stdlib.h> header file.

    It is recommended that the request is refused since resolving the problem
    should be a straightforward matter not requiring changes to the test suite
    sources.
