Bug#714604: libc6-dev: RUSAGE_THREAD constant not exported

[Rodrigo Campos <rodrigo@sdfg.com.ar>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-38
Severity: normal

Hi,

When including sys/time.h and sys/resource.h as the getrusage manpage says,
RUSAGE_THREAD is not defined.

For example, the following code fails to compile:

    #include <sys/time.h>
    #include <sys/resource.h>
     
    int main()
    {
     
      struct rusage usage;
      int r;
     
      r = getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD, &usage);
      r = getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage);
     
      return 0;
    }


with:

        error: ‘RUSAGE_THREAD’ undeclared (first use in this function)


Doing a grep in /usr/include it seems it should be defined to 1 and now I'm using:

        #ifndef RUSAGE_THREAD
        #define RUSAGE_THREAD 1
        #endif

as a workaround.


I'm not sure if this is the package I should report it, but as far as I checked
it seems that with these headers it should be defined (instead of a bug in the
manpage or something else). Sorry if I'm wrong :-S


Also, if you want me to try something, just let me know!




Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
