YetAnotherNewDeveloperQuestion (couldn't see anything obvious in the archives either) The posix specs I'm reading http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/ indicate that most of the types I'm working with (sem_t pthread_*_t) should be defined in <sys/types.h> with only the prototypes and #defines in the respective header files. Are these specs way of base? If not, how do I go about altering sys/types.h (which I note appears to be part of newlib). The question arises because I have an external typedef which is different from the internal typedef. While I could type cast everything to make it match up (class pthread ** to void ** for instance) it reads a lot more easily (which helps debugging) with no casting involved. FYI the external typedefs are of the form typedef void * foo_t and the internal ones typedef class foo * foo_t. At the moment I've just duplicated the #defines across the files, but I'd really rather have the types separated out from the prototypes and #defines... Rob
