Eric Blake c7487319 2011-06-21T08:50:51 strerror_r: fix OpenBSD behavior on 0 OpenBSD treats strerror_r(0,,) as a success, but with a message "Undefined error: 0"; while this is distinct from strerror_r(-1,,) returning "Unknown error: -1", it does not imply success. Meanwhile, if buf is short enough for ERANGE, then we can't use strstr to look for "Unknown" or "Undefined" in the resulting message, like we had been doing for strerror(). Fix this by shifting the burden - now the strerror-override code guarantees that 0 will have an override when needed. * lib/strerror-override.c (strerror_override): Also override 0 when needed. * lib/strerror-override.h (strerror_override): Likewise. * lib/strerror.c (strerror): Simplify, now that 0 override is done earlier. * lib/strerror_r.c (strerror_r): Likewise. * m4/strerror.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR): Split detection of 0 behavior... (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_0): ...into new macro. * m4/strerror_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Replace strerror_r if 0 is overridden. (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R_WORKS): Avoid extra tests if 0 is broken. * modules/strerror-override (Files): Add strerror.m4. (configure.ac): Also provide override for 0 when needed. * doc/posix-functions/strerror.texi (strerror): Document this. * doc/posix-functions/perror.texi (perror): Likewise.

Eric Blake 79d4e75d 2011-06-07T20:49:04 strerror_r-posix: fix on MacOS MacOS X 10.5 strerror(0) is "Unknown error: 0", which is not distinguished from "Unknown error: -1" for out-of-range. Worse, strerror_r(0,,) is "Undefined error: 0", although strerror_r for all other out-of-range values matches strerror. * m4/strerror.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR): Flush out MacOS bug. * m4/strerror_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R_WORKS): Likewise, and fix logic bug. * lib/strerror_r.c (strerror_r): Fix the bug. * lib/strerror.c (strerror): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/strerror_r.texi (strerror_r): Document the problem. * doc/posix-functions/strerror.texi (strerror): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/perror.texi (perror): Likewise. * tests/test-strerror.c (main): Enhance test. * tests/test-strerror_r.c (main): Likewise.
