You mean POSIX.5? Not yet. I have ordered a copy from IEEE and I am
eagerly waiting to see this standard and to find out whether it
is as good as my beloved POSIX.1 for C.
But I will consider your advice seriously to get more comfortable
with interface pragmas and use libc directly for the time being.
I just thought using POSIX.5 would be a cleaner "native Ada
programming" style then the C/Ada mixture that I will get by using
interface pragmas. That's the reason for my style/convenience
concerns.
Is there anything wrong with POSIX.5 compared with POSIX.1 in
your opinion (except the lack of an implementation)?
