[posixtest-discuss] Question to list on limits.h values

[Fleischer, J. N <jul...@in...>]

In the POSIX Base Definitions document section on limits.h, it defines
certain *_MAX variables as the maximum of something allowed by an
implementation.  For example, I'm looking at TIMER_MAX, which is the maximum
timers allowed by an implementation.

My question is:  Does anyone know if an implementation can _allow_ >
TIMER_MAX timers to be created?  The POSIX spec doesn't appear to prohibit
this from happening in the timer_create sections of XSH, but I'm unsure what
TIMER_MAX would refer to then.  Is it just that the behavior is
unpredictable after you reach TIMER_MAX?
