Hi Hackers, I accidentally reproduced the following after executing read properly in a pipeline with make:
[garrc...@garrcoop-fbsd /usr/home/garrcoop]$ read DESTDIR SRCCONF < /usr/bin/make -V DESTDIR -V SRCCONF bash: read: `-V': not a valid identifier [garrc...@garrcoop-fbsd /usr/home/garrcoop]$ echo $DESTDIR ELF [garrc...@garrcoop-fbsd /usr/home/garrcoop]$ hexdump -C foo 00000000 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 0a |.ELF....| 00000008 [garrc...@garrcoop-fbsd /usr/home/garrcoop]$ Is this an issue to be concerned about apart from cosmetic noise, i.e. potential buffer access problem? I see the same garbage from bash/coreutils on RHEL 4.6 as well as read(1) and /bin/sh on FreeBSD with RELENG_8, so the issue appears to be consistent on multiple OSes... Thanks, -Garrett _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
