mmap(): MAP_ANON vs. MAP_ANONYMOUS
NetBSD developers,
The Austin Group (POSIX standards body) is considering standardizing
mmap() with anonymous memory:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=850
The current draft of the new wording (see comment #2281) uses
MAP_ANONYMOUS as the name of the mmap() flag. NetBSD only defines
MAP_ANON, but otherwise seems conformant to the proposed wording.
Would you be opposed to defining MAP_ANONYMOUS as a synonym for
MAP_ANON? Would you prefer POSIX to specify MAP_ANON instead?
Thanks,
Richard
