Description Michael Kerrisk 2006-12-02 17:59:17 UTC 
With glibc 2.4, the treatment of _POSIX_C_SOURCE changed.  However, an important
comment in <features.h> describing the behaviour was not changed.

In the sentence:

"If none of these are defined, the default is to have...
and _POSIX_C_SOURCE set to 199506L."

the number should be "200112L".
Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2006-12-10 01:54:42 UTC 
Fixed in cvs.
