Olivier Mengué commented on AXIS2C-1439: ---------------------------------------- The consequence of this bug is that UUID are not so uniques: Here some code and its output: #include <axis2_util.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const axutil_env_t *env = NULL; axis2_char_t *uuid; int count = 1; env = axutil_env_create_all("./uuid.log", AXIS2_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE); if (argc == 2) count = atoi(argv[1]); while (count--) { uuid = axutil_uuid_gen(env); printf("%d %s\n", argc, uuid); AXIS2_FREE(env->allocator, uuid); } axutil_env_free((axutil_env_t *) env); return 0; } Output : 1 62bc66d8-06a1-1df1-3165-000000000000 (the last part is only zeroes) > AIX: axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() returns NULL => uuid with zeroes > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS2C-1439 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1439 > Project: Axis2-C > Issue Type: Bug > Components: platforms/unix > Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.7.0, Current (Nightly) > Environment: AIX 5.3 > Reporter: Olivier Mengué > > axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() return NULL on AIX 5.3. > The axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() implementation is the default one (neither > HAVE_LINUX_IF_H or HAVE_GETIFADDRS defined). > Note that the case of axutil_uuid_get_mac_addr() returning NULL is not > handled in axutil_uuid_gen_v1(), so invalid memory access occurs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
