Hello, has anybody knowledge/experience of the consequences of POSIX(ON) ?
Some C runtime library functions require POSIX(ON) (especially pthreads and friends). Why is POSIX(ON) not set by default for 31 bit code? I tried to search in documentation for costs and disadvantages of POSIX(ON), the only thing I could find was in z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference: "The default value for AMODE 64 is POSIX(ON)." So, why is this not for AMODE(31) ? "One of the effects of POSIX(ON) is the enablement of POSIX signal handling semantics, which interact closely with the Language Environment condition handling semantics." What are the consequences of this? And for code that does not use threads?
