CVS commit: src/lib/libc/stdlib

[Jukka Ruohonen <jruoho%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   jruoho
Date:           Sat May  1 06:18:03 UTC 2010

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libc/stdlib: hcreate.3

Log Message:
Improvements to wording and markup.

In addition, list more bugs and caveats. Namely, the NetBSD implementation
(like the FreeBSD one where this was ported to) requires that the comparison
keys are allocated dynamically, and that hdestroy() will try to free(3) each
key. This obviously severely limits the portability, given that other
implementations (for example, the Linux one) make no such assumptions. Both
approaches are legitimate, and thus the real bug is in the ambiguity of the
standard.
