Is it really so difficult to handle this situation though? Using
Steve's test program on Solaris does as expected:
[12:52pm] [EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -Wall testprog.c -o testprog
[12:52pm] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./testprog
open succeed
fclose #1 succeed
#2 says:: Error 0
fclose #2 succeed
[12:52pm] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc testprog.c -o testprog2
[12:52pm] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./testprog2
open succeed
fclose #1 succeed
#2 says:: Error 0
fclose #2 succeed
Interestingly, Solaris does not say it *may* return an error, but rather
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, fclose() returns 0. Otherwise,
it returns EOF and sets errno to indicate the error.
