- It is not sufficient to only identify the non-POSIX.1
- system calls. An ideal test suite should also test for
- the likes of:
-
- - POSIX restrictions on assignment to errno,
- - references to system files not specified by POSIX
- (e.g. /etc/passwd, /dev/kmem, and /dev/tty), and
- - constraint and syntax errors.
-
- In addition, runtime checking must be performed to check
- for:
- - exceeding of minimum runtime limits,
- - parameters of calls to POSIX libraries, and
- - non-reliance on POSIX undefined or implementation
- defined constructs.
