    Problem Text
    The test claims that pthread_self() does not return EINTR using
    this code:


    int
    t2_tfunc()
    {
    int rval;
    pthread_t val;

    rval = 1;
    val = pthread_self();
    if ( (int) val != EINTR )
    rval = 0;
    return(rval);

    However, a pthread_t is implemented as an integer (1,2,3,...) and errno
    values are also integers and the test cannot distinguish a thread ID of
    4 from EINTR, which is defined to be 4. The test function just
    happened to be executed by the fourth thread.

    Review Information

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    A test suite deficiency is recommended.
    Assertion 2 specifies that the return value of pthread_self whould not be the errno
    EINTR. The return value for pthread_self is actually the pthread_id not an errno.
    This assertion is therefore invalid

    Review Type SA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Conclusion
    This is an agreed Test Suite Deficiency.
