Google gave me http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-05/msg00417.html and http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2007/msg00800.html, which explains why this happens, but these messages are 3 years old. Additionally, http://linux.die.net/man/3/rand_r suggests that rand_r is c99. Are there plans to update stdlib.h to account for c99? If I look through the http://linux.die.net/man pages and figure out which things are c99 and submit a patch, will it get checked in? Thanks. -Jason -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
