Somewhere in mv.c it happens that variable target-directory gets loaded with
the value "out\0". Although it should be "\0" or such.
Execution comes to
443 else if (target_directory)
and then
445 target_dirfd = target_directory_operand (target_directory, &sb);
I am missing the moment after declarations
325 char const *target_directory = nullptr;
326 bool no_target_directory = false;
when nullptr value changes to "out\0". I think GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple
version gdb-696) (Sat Oct 20 18:20:28 GMT 2007) could be instructed to watch
over a variable – but have no idea how. Is this a watchpoint?
For today I am going rebuild coreutils 9.7 with -O0 and am going to check all
tests, checking particularly how patched existing-perm-race.sh will perform.
