    Problem Text

    The following are the numbers of the failed tests, in the XTI.hdr section
    - 70, 71

    These failures are observed in the Unix98 mode of the test suite.

    The reason for these failures is the lack of OPT_NEXTHDR and utility macro
    T_ALIGN which these test assertions expect.

    This is allowed by Resolution XNET 53-1 and associated Corrigenda. Our
    implementation does not expose the OPT_NEXTHDR macro and its associated
    utility macro T_ALIGN, for XNS 5 applications where _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined
    to be 500.

    The specification has alternate new mechanisms which help achieve portable
    N-bit clean code which are exposed.

    The results have been generated with official workaround VST-28-05-98
    which allows the test suite to function without OPT_NEXTHDR (and T_ALIGN)
    definitions in the header.

    We request a temporary interpretation for these results for Unix98 branding
    until future revisions of test suites are available.
    Test Output
    ***********************************************************************
    /tset/XTI.hdr/misc/xti/T.xti 70 Failed

    Test Description:
    When the header file <xti.h> is included in a C program, then the
    macro T_ALIGN(p) is defined, takes a single argument of type unsigned
    integer and evaluates to an expression of type integer.

    Test Strategy:
    COMPILE program including header file <xti.h>
    VERIFY that macro exists using #ifdef
    VERIFY that macro expands to an integer value

    Test Information:
    Compiler or run-time messages or results:
    Undefined identifier: T_ALIGN

    ***********************************************************************

    ***********************************************************************
    /tset/XTI.hdr/misc/xti/T.xti 71 Failed

    Test Description:
    When the header file <xti.h> is included in a C program, then the
    macro OPT_NEXTHDR(pbuf, buflen, popt) is defined, takes three
    arguments of type pointer to char, integer and pointer to struct
    netbuf, respectively and evaluates to an expression of type pointer to
    struct t_opthdr.

    Test Strategy:
    COMPILE program including header file <xti.h>
    ASSIGN return value to a variable of the same type
    VERIFY that sizeof(*OPT_NEXTHDR(buf,len,popt)) has the expected value

    Test Information:
    Compiler or run-time messages or results:
    Undefined identifier: OPT_NEXTHDR
