Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.2.5-11.2
Severity: normal
In "man 2 kill" the required include files for the function:
int kill(pid_t pid, int sig);
are:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
However when a program is compiled in -ansi mode the required prototype
is not included. In the normal compilation mode the prototype is
included from /usr/include/signal.h
For example:-
--- BEGIN LOG ---
sjm217@maxwell:~/tmp$ cat libc6-dev-test.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
int main(void) {
kill(0,0);
return 0;
}
sjm217@maxwell:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic libc6-dev-test.c
libc6-dev-test.c: In function `main':
libc6-dev-test.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function `kill'
sjm217@maxwell:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall -ansi libc6-dev-test.c
libc6-dev-test.c: In function `main':
libc6-dev-test.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function `kill'
sjm217@maxwell:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall libc6-dev-test.c
sjm217@maxwell:~/tmp$
--- END LOG ---
I would have expected that either the kill(2) manpage noted the correct
header files that need to be included, or the sys/types.h and signal.h
header files to be modified to include the prototype of kill.
Please let me know if any more information is required.
Thank you,
Steven Murdoch.

This bug report is erroneous. The kill() function is not part of ISO C,
so it is correct for -ansi to suppress its declaration.
