Description Joseph Myers 2006-10-31 16:50:06 UTC 
Some of the PTHREAD_* constants in pthread.h are defined as both enums and
macros (#define FOO FOO).  Others, apparently arbitrarily, are only defined as
enums, although POSIX makes no distinction between the two sets of constants.

I think it's most useful for all these constants to be defined as both enums and
macros; I'll attach a patch to add the missing macro definitions.

There is no reason whatsoever to do this.
