Source: gcab Version: 1.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream User: debian-h...@lists.debian.org Usertags: hurd
The latest build of gcab for hurd-i386 (admittedly not a release architecture) failed: ../tests/gcab-self-test.c:33:19: error: ‘PATH_MAX’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘NAME_MAX’? The Hurd notoriously has no static PATH_MAX. Best practice is dynamically accommodating whatever you actually encounter, since fixed-size buffers generally run the risk of either wasting memory or yielding truncation (or, worse, buffer overflows). However, if that's infeasible, you can also look up _PC_PATH_MAX via pathconf or even supply a fallback constant (traditionally 4096). Could you please take a look? Thanks! -- Aaron M.
