Types ending in _t are reserved by POSIX :P
This rule has been set up by POSIX to avoid namespace pollution, because C has no means to separate standard types from user types.
The aforementioned types ending in `_t' are enclosed in a C++ class namespace (which itself belongs to a user namespace). Under these conditions, does this rule still apply?
You are totally right, I was just being picky :P
I browsed the Single Unix Specification version 3 (since POSIX isn't freely available), and only found this reference in the « Rationale (Informative) Volume » (XRAT):
B.2.12 Data Types
[SNIP]
Is this the single reference on that subject in SUSv3?
