Bug#247118: libc6-dev: Definition of kill() missing when using -D_BSD_SOURCE

[konqueror@gmx.de]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: normal


I get a warning when compiling the following testapp:


#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	kill(0,0);
	return 0;
}


I use the this command line:


gcc -ansi -Wall -D_BSD_SOURCE -c killbug.c


The warning I get:


killbug.c: In function `main':
killbug.c:5: Warnung: implicit declaration of function 'kill'


In /usr/include/signal.h kill() is defined as follows:


#ifdef __USE_POSIX
extern int kill (__pid_t __pid, int __sig) __THROW;
#endif /* Use POSIX.  */


According to kill() manpage was defined on BSD 4.3 too.
This means it should be available with -D_BSD_SOURCE I think.

Is this correct ?
