Yes, but " If the colon is omitted each of the above TZ formats will be tried." , so it'll be figured out even if the colon is missing.

The default behavior is done so programs don't need to be restarted if the timezone is changed, which also has real world impact.

There's no usable mechanisms glibc can use for watching /etc/localtime for changes that does not mess up the program if it also decides to use any file watching features.

I certainly agree that you don't need that for production machines. However /usr/bin/gcc is just a frontend, and calls a slew of other binaries(such as cpp, collect2, cc1, normally found somewhere in /usr/libex

Being async-safe just means you can call it in a signal handler, and is unrelated to being thread safe. _exit() will cause a similar race condition, but probably with less severe effects. _exit() closes all open file descriptors (not FILE*,

Another fun one is "don't exit() in multi-threaded code on glibc". It goes like this: 1. Thread A calls FILE f = fopen(); if (f == NULL) {error} 2. Thread B calls exit(). exit() flushes and closes all open FILE (it does so it

Note that CRCs are designed to cover a certain message length, and are designed to catch bit errors within that message. The probability of a single bit error getting through is much much greater than a simple probability of 1 in 4 billion,

In that regards, I also think C++ programmers should be more open to C programmers that just needs a few new language constructs. It is not an all or nothing approach. It's fine to write code that looks and feels mostly like C, but sti

Why would that be ironic ? It's ensuring others receive the same freedom for the copy you make of the page, which is also the essence of the GPL license, and the whole philosophy of the FSF.
