- Well, it's not a problem in HP's case. HP first released POSIX.1 conformance
- (and XPG3 and ANSI C conformance) in HP-UX 7.0 (completed in November of 1989).
-
- That release included support for secondary definitions as described in the
- referenced JoCLT article, and used it to prevent link-time namespace pollution.
-
- I believe that "will be used" was referring to the poster's own system,
- not HP-UX.
