On FreeBSD 6.4, in a unit test that checks the signature of pthread_sigmask(),
I get a compilation error:
test-pthread_sigmask1.c:24: error: `pthread_sigmask' undeclared here (not in a
function)
*** Error code 1
Similarly on a couple of other platforms. The reason is that the system
declares it in <pthread.h>, not <signal.h>.
This fixes it:
2011-07-07 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>
pthread_sigmask: Ensure declaration in <signal.h>.
* lib/signal.in.h: On MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSF/1, include
<pthread.h>.
* doc/posix-functions/pthread_sigmask.texi: Mention the header file
problem.
