Re: Bug 12665

reading the specs:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html

the DELAYTIMER_MAX is for realtime POSIX.

but Linux is based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base, which is LSB.

There is no direct mapping between LSB and POSIX, but perhaps this:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/time.7.html

and 

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html

Look carefully between the two and you can perhaps find the balancing point u will need for implementing this feature.

whether it is a kernel bug, or userspace bug is therefore highly controversial.

I found a bug that appears to be simple to fix.  I assume I am missing
something.

here is a link to the bug description:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12665

the man page for the function in the bug report mentions that linux does
not impliment the desired functionality


It seems like it is accepted as working the way it does, and at the same
time it is reported in bugzilla as a current bug.


What am I missing?
