Why does lint (on IRIX 3.3) complain about the following program?
#include <signal.h>
extern void handler(int);
f()
{
signal(SIGINT, handler);
}
==============
function argument ( number ) used inconsistently
signal( arg 1 ) llib-lc.c(245) :: x.c(7)
signal( arg 2 ) llib-lc.c(245) :: x.c(7)
The relevant line in /usr/lib/lint/llib-lc looks like this:
void (*signal(int s, void (*a)(int, ...)))(int, ...) { static void (*b)(); return (b); }
I could imagine that a very picky lint complains that the handler
argument isn't quite the right type; but what on earth is wrong with the
first argument? Surely SIGINT is 1?
