There is a silly bug in RELENG_7 up to and including RELENG_7_3: fdopendir(3) is available in libc, but the prototype is missing from <dirent.h>.
This can have unexpected consequences. A configure script can notice that fdopendir() is available, but due to the missing prototype, the function will be typed as the default int fdopendir(); This is bad. fdopendir() returns a pointer and unless correctly prototyped, the return value will be truncated from 64 to 32 bits on LP64 platforms. So if you notice that something picks up the fdopendir() function you need to either disable it for 702102 to 703100 (inclusive) or make sure that the correct prototype DIR *fdopendir(int); is wedged in somehow. This isn't a hypothetical concern. When I initially tried gtar 1.23 on 7.3/amd64, it left a trail of coredumps because of this. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
