Re: Where the SEM_NSEMS_MAX is defined?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

In POSIX test suite there is a test case sem_init/7-1.c, it checks
sysconf(_SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX) and if returns -1, the case return
UNTESTED.
Do you think it should return PASS? Thanks.

Codes:
   max = sysconf(_SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX);

   if (max <= 0)
   {
       output("sysconf(_SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX) = %ld\n", max);
       UNTESTED("There is no constraint on SEM_NSEMS_MAX");
   }
