https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23282 --- Comment #2 from Graham Gower <graham.gower@xxxxxxxxx> 2013-02-09 00:16:38 --- Marshel, that patch does not address the ambiguity created by backwards compatibility with glibc 2.0.6, it merely removes the backwards compatilibility (while retaining notes that it is compatible). You also omit the return value in your return statement. I'd be happy with the backwards compatibility removed (and a note to that effect), given glibc 2.0 is now 15 years old. The code could then be simplified. At the time I encountered this issue, I wrote the following code, which would just error out in the case of truncation with old glibc. http://code.google.com/p/opkg/source/browse/trunk/libopkg/sprintf_alloc.c -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
