Hello.

Below is a patch to add the _Exit function, as required by C99. Here's
its description from 7.20.4.4 (page 329 in the PDF):

"The _Exit function causes normal program termination to occur and control
to be returned to the host environment. No functions registered by
the atexit function or signal handlers registered by the signal function
are called. The status returned to the host environment is determined
in the same way as for the exit function (7.20.4.3). Whether open streams
with unwritten buffered data are flushed, open streams are closed,
or temporary files are removed is implementation-defined."

If we don't flush open streams, etc., then this function is equivalent
to _exit. In fact, it seems like they chose the name not to clash
with _exit, which some C libraries seem to have (DJGPP's & Microsoft's
spring to mind).

If we want to flush open streams, etc., then it's a little unclear
what to do with C++ destructors. The C++ standard describes that
exit() should call the destructors, but there's no mention
of _exit() or _Exit(). That's not surprising, since C99 came out after
the C++ standard.

OK to commit?

Thanks, bye, Rich =]

+@node _Exit, process
+@subheading Syntax
+
+@example
+#include <stdlib.h>
+
+void _Exit(int exit_code);
+@end example
+
+@subheading Description
+
+This function exits the program, returning @var{exit_code} to the
+calling process.  No additional processing (such as closing file
+descriptors or calls to the static destructor functions) is done, and
+any @code{atexit} functions are not called; only the hardware interrupt
+handlers are unhooked, to prevent system crashes.
+
+@subheading Return Value
+
+This function does not return.

+@port-note ansi-c99 Depending on the implementation, @code{_Exit} may do the additional processing described above.
