[Bug libc/1074] New: What should be in <sys/param.h>?

[Bug libc/1074] New: What should be in <sys/param.h>?

[hjl at lucon dot org]

I posted 2 testcases at

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2005-07/msg00032.html

They pass on ia32. On ia64, I got

tst-param1.c: In function `do_test':
tst-param1.c:29: warning: implicit declaration of function `sysconf'
tst-param1.c:29: error: `_SC_CLK_TCK' undeclared (first use in this function)
tst-param1.c:29: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tst-param1.c:29: error: for each function it appears in.)

NGROUPS: 32 != sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX): 65536

On x86_64, I got

HZ == sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK): 100
EXEC_PAGESIZE == sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE): 4096
NGROUPS: 32 != sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX): 65536

As Roland already said, <sys/param.h> exists only for compatibility.  If your
app makes wrong assumptions, fix it.
