Hi,
The abovementioned PR is for sig{add, del}set and sigismember.
Apparently POSIX requires that these functions check that the
specified signal number exists, which they currently do not do.
These functions are currently defined as macro's, I don't see any
nice, fast, MT-safe way that only evaluates the signal number
argument once that adds the checking that POSIX requires while
keeping them as macros. So should I submit patches to fix this
problem by deleting the macro definitions and adding the required
checking to /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/sigsetops.c or are we going to
ignore POSIX?
