As proof of concept, I have constructed such a wrapper shared library. It intercepts __xstat32_conv, always converts each member (modulo its width, if necessary) and when EOVERFLOW would occur then it consults environment variable _XSTAT32_EOVERFLOW for options: ignore return 0 instead (success) error return EOVERFLOW (like before, but st_size is defined!) warn diagnose once on stderr; return EOVERFLOW abort call abort() The diagnostic tells which of st_ino, st_size, or st_nblock overflowed. The construction script and related files to be used with glibc-*.src.rpm are linked from the narrative description at: http://bitwagon.com/xstat32_EOVERFLOW/ -- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
