On HP-UX 11.11, I'm seeing this test failure: test-pwrite.c:66: assertion failed ./test-pwrite.sh[5]: 26584 Abort(coredump) FAIL: test-pwrite.sh
It's due to insufficient parameter checking in the system function. I'm adding this workaround to gnulib: 2010-12-31 Bruno Haible <[email protected]> pwrite: Work around HP-UX 11.11 bug. * m4/pwrite.m4 (gl_FUNC_PWRITE): When pwrite exists, test whether it works and set REPLACE_PWRITE if not. * lib/pwrite.c (pwrite): Add an implementation that uses the system function. * doc/posix-functions/pwrite.texi: Document the HP-UX 11 bug. --- doc/posix-functions/pwrite.texi.orig Sat Jan 1 02:20:56 2011 +++ doc/posix-functions/pwrite.texi Sat Jan 1 02:03:28 2011 @@ -11,6 +11,10 @@ @item This function is missing on some platforms: HP-UX 10, mingw, BeOS. +...@item +This function does not fail when an invalid (negative) offset is passed when +large file support is enabled on some platforms: +HP-UX 11.11. @end itemize Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: --- lib/pwrite.c.orig Sat Jan 1 02:20:56 2011 +++ lib/pwrite.c Sat Jan 1 02:11:22 2011 @@ -24,9 +24,25 @@ #include <errno.h> -#define __libc_lseek(f,o,w) lseek (f, o, w) -#define __set_errno(Val) errno = (Val) -#define __libc_write(f,b,n) write (f, b, n) +#if HAVE_PWRITE + +ssize_t +pwrite (int fd, const void *buf, size_t nbyte, off_t offset) +# undef pwrite +{ + if (offset < 0) + { + errno = EINVAL; + return -1; + } + return pwrite (fd, buf, nbyte, offset); +} + +#else + +# define __libc_lseek(f,o,w) lseek (f, o, w) +# define __set_errno(Val) errno = (Val) +# define __libc_write(f,b,n) write (f, b, n) /* Note: This implementation of pwrite is not multithread-safe. */ @@ -62,3 +78,5 @@ return result; } + +#endif --- m4/pwrite.m4.orig Sat Jan 1 02:20:56 2011 +++ m4/pwrite.m4 Sat Jan 1 02:17:40 2011 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# pwrite.m4 serial 1 +# pwrite.m4 serial 2 dnl Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. dnl This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation dnl gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, @@ -7,13 +7,62 @@ AC_DEFUN([gl_FUNC_PWRITE], [ AC_REQUIRE([gl_UNISTD_H_DEFAULTS]) + AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]) dnl for cross-compiles dnl Persuade glibc <unistd.h> to declare pwrite().
