Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: A couple remarks: - if st_size == 0, then you have to specify an explicit length (your example passes 0, which would fail with EINVAL without the check) - most enties in /proc don't support mmap file operation, so it's likely to fail anyway (with ENODEV, EACCESS...). Do you have an example of a /proc entry with st_size == 0 that can be mmapped (mapping /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace fails with EACCESS)?

I don't like the idea of adding an argument which doesn't have a counterpart in the POSIX version (especially to address such corner cases). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12556> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
