Hello Tsuneo,

your problem is, the sources you are trying to process with splint use
features introduced by IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993, whereas split knows
about the POSIX specification IEEE 1003.1-1990 only.

The clean solution would be to update posix.h and re-generate
posix(strict).lcd.

As a quick-and-dirty solution, you could provide a dummy definition
for siginfo_t and hide it from the compiler by enclosing it in
preprocessor directives:

#if defined (S_SPLINT_S)
  typedef struct
  {
    int      si_signo;
    int      si_code;
    pid_t    si_pid;
  }
  siginfo_t;
#endif

Note, splint will still complain about the sa_sigaction member of
struct sigaction, as this seems to be new in IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993.

HTH,

Ludolf
