#18349 closed bug (fixed)

getlogin_r return value is wrong in case of too small buffer

Reported by: bhaible Owned by: nobody
Priority: normal Milestone: R1/beta5
Component: - General Version: R1/beta4
Keywords: r1beta4-fixes Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

POSIX <​https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getlogin_r.html> specifies that when getlogin_r fails due to a too small buffer passed as argument, the return value is ERANGE:

"[ERANGE]

The value of namesize is smaller than the length of the string to be returned including the terminating null character."

But Haiku r1beta4 returns ENOMEM instead.

How to reproduce (on x86_64): 

$ gcc -Wall -ggdb foo.c
$ ./a.out
err = 0
err = -2147483648
    = Out of memory
err = -2147483648
    = Out of memory
err = -2147483648
    = Out of memory

Milestone: R1/beta5 → R1/beta4
