/usr/include/pthread.h is missing a closing } in pthread_cleanup_push

it reads:
#define
pthread_cleanup_push(routine,arg)                                     \
  { struct _pthread_cleanup_buffer
_buffer;                                   \
    _pthread_cleanup_push (&_buffer, (routine), (arg));

and should read:
#define
pthread_cleanup_push(routine,arg)                                     \
  { struct _pthread_cleanup_buffer
_buffer;                                   \
    _pthread_cleanup_push (&_buffer, (routine), (arg)); }

the absence of this closing } leads to hard to find compile-errors.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-09-06 16:46:14 UTC
The compile errors are desirable, quoting pthread.h:
/* Install a cleanup handler: ROUTINE will be called with arguments ARG
   when the thread is cancelled or calls pthread_exit.  ROUTINE will also
   be called with arguments ARG when the matching pthread_cleanup_pop
   is executed with non-zero EXECUTE argument.
   pthread_cleanup_push and pthread_cleanup_pop are macros and must always
   be used in matching pairs at the same nesting level of braces. */
