#19057 closed bug (duplicate)

symlinkat() does not fail with EBADF when it should

Description

POSIX https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/symlink.html specifies that the symlinkat() function "shall fail" with error code EBADF if "The path2 argument does not specify an absolute path and the fd argument is neither AT_FDCWD nor a valid file descriptor open for reading or searching."

This does not work in Haiku hrev57823 (from 2024-07-15): it succeeds (as if AT_FDCWD has been specified instead of an invalid fd).

How to reproduce: Compile and run the attached test program.

gcc -Wall foo.c
./a.out

Expected output:

ret = -1, errno == EBADF
OK

Actual output:

ret = 0
a.out: foo.c:21:main: ret < 0 && errno == EBADF
