The prototype for ttyname_r() is suppose to be: int ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t); There's patches (PRs I think) out there to fix it, but I think they're waiting for Kris to scan ports to see if there are any uses of the old undocumented API. I think you can find related mail in -threads and/or -standards. -- DE
