Hi Matt,
According to my reading of the doc for mmap, this should work. It does
work on other platforms. It also seg faults instead of returning ((void*)-1).
Now, what? :-(
If you don't want to require that users use a kernel that doesn't
misbehave like this, shouldn't you add an autoconf test that checks
for this behavior and falls back to some other method?
Yes. Very logical. I was feeling tired, exasperated and lazy all at the
same time. ;) It is not an easy test, of course, so it is easier to
be lazy. I am just so surprised and disappointed to find it failing.
Short term: simply disable mmap for page sized files. Dumb and all,
but it is also what I do for fixincludes. *sigh*. Cheers - Bruce
