selftests: Testing a write attempt into a full file?

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have constructed another demonstration program.


#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
	FILE *f = fopen("/dev/full", "a");

	if (!f)
		goto report_failure;

	{
	int const c = 'X';

	if (fputc(c, f) != c)
		goto report_failure;
	}

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;

report_failure:
	perror(__func__);
	return errno;
}


I got the following result.

elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/selftests> gcc-7 putc_into_full_file1.c && ./a.out; echo $?
0


Does such a simple test example need further software development considerations?

Regards,
Markus
