Bug#324338: pthread_mutexattr_settype/PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE not available?

[Florian Schmidt <mista.tapas@gmx.net>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.5-4

Hi,

compiling this simple (non functional) test program

#include <pthread.h>

int main() {
        pthread_mutexattr_t attr;
        pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr,0);
}


generates this warning:

~$ gcc foo.c -lpthread -Wall
foo.c: In function 'main':
foo.c:4: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pthread_mutexattr_settype'
foo.c:5: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

but the linking "works" and the symbol shows up as:

         U pthread_mutexattr_settype@@GLIBC_2.1

in nm a.out output. i'm not proficient enough to judge what exactly this
means :)

But this code

#include <pthread.h>

int main() {
        pthread_mutexattr_t attr;
        phread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE);
}

gives me:

~$ gcc foo.c -lpthread -Wall
foo.c: In function 'main':
foo.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'phread_mutexattr_settype'
foo.c:5: error: 'PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE' undeclared (first use in this function)
foo.c:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
foo.c:5: error: for each function it appears in.)
foo.c:6: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

So something is broken, no?

Regards,
Florian Schmidt
