The first POSIX edition with a description of realloc is POSIX.1-2001. Earlier editions only list it as a function provided by the C Language Standard. POSIX.1-1988 Appendix A states: "This IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 is intended to complement others that together would provide a comprehensive Open System Environment." ... "This document refers to the C Language Standard effort presently under development by Technical Committee X3J11 of the Accredited Standards Committee X3—Information Processing Systems. The X3J11 and 1003.1 groups have been cooperating to ensure that the standards are complementary and not overlapping." There were three editions of POSIX prior to POSIX.1-2001: IEEE Std 1003.1-1988: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/FIPS/fipspub151-1.pdf IEEE Std 1003.1-1990: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/FIPS/fipspub151-2.pdf IEEE Std 1003.1-1996 = 1003.1-1990 + 1003.1b-1993 + 1003.1c-1995 + 1003.1i-1995 (i.e., same as the previous version plus real-time and threading extensions; no impact on realloc) > > I don't have a copy of POSIX.1-2008 ... https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2008edition/functions/realloc.html > > No mention of POSIX.1-2013? > > I didn't have a copy of that. ... https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799.2013edition/functions/realloc.html POSIX.1-2013 = POSIX.1-2008 + TC1; TC1 includes the POSIX changes to realloc from bug 400. https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=400 https://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/dr_400.htm - Mark
