Keith, this code is incorrect. The second argument to readdir64_r is supposed to point to somewhere to store the result; instead you're just passing it an uninitialised pointer. Understandably, it segfaults.
In order to correct it, one must also define a feature test macro to get the definition of 'struct dirent64'. Here's corrected code, which does not segfault: #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE #include <sys/types.h> #include <dirent.h> int main() { DIR *d; struct dirent64 dent; struct dirent64 *dresult; d = opendir("/tmp"); readdir64_r(d, &dent, &dresult); closedir(d); } -- package ubuntu-docs 8.04.2~hardy failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
