No one has asked about it before; I can ask, but suspect that since there is a difference in existing implementation, it would be easier for POSIX to standardize a different function name than qsort_r than to pick sides on which signature to standardize. My personal preference is the glibc style (the opaque argument last in both qsort_r and the comparator), not the BSD style (the opaque argument first in both calls), This is because POSIX already has other standardized functions in the glibc style (pthread_cleanup_push, pthread_create), and none in the BSD styloe. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
