I can help with Solaris: Tried a Sun compiler and a few versions of gcc
on Solaris 8, 9 10. (Not a complete combination matrix, but a smattering
across it.)
All compiled successfully (including with "gcc -Wall": no warnings, no
errors).
All ran to completion with the same result:
times(NULL) failure: Bad address
>From "times(2)" man page for Solaris 8:
---------------------------------------------------
[...] The return value may overflow
the possible range of type clock_t. If times() fails,
(clock_t)-1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The times() function will fail if:
EFAULT
The buffer argument points to an illegal address.
---------------------------------------------------
So that looks consistent (always a nice bonus).
Incidentally, have you seen
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
as a useful source of man pages for a wide variety of systems? Includes
SunOS (aka Solaris), *BSD, HP-UX, Ultrix, various Linuxes, ...
