- * pinotree spots how our getlogin_r() implementation uses a static
- buffer...
- <braunr> oO
- <pinotree> braunr: yeah, the _r means "reentrantbutnotreally" xD
- <braunr> pinotree: that's amazing ..
- <antrik> pinotree: without having checked the actual implementation, that
- doesn't sound like a problem...
- <antrik> caching doesn't break reentrancy. the problem with the plain
- getlogin() is that a static buffer is *returned to the user*
- <pinotree> antrik: http://paste.debian.net/164727/
- <braunr> ah, caching
- <pinotree> i don't think this is caching at all
- <antrik> pinotree: OK, not actually caching... but same effect as far as I
- can tell
- <antrik> pinotree: or is it the fixed size of the temporary variable you
- are concerned about?
- <pinotree> antrik: my concern was about the "static" of the buffer used for
- the get_login rpc
- <antrik> pinotree: I'm not sure that's a problem. can the login actually
- ever change for a running process?
- <pinotree> dunno
- <pinotree> but if so, it would be pointless to do the rpc every time
- instead of just once
- <antrik> pinotree: true
- * pinotree would just make it non-static and be safe
- <antrik> pinotree: well, one might argue that allocating a KiB of stack
- space is not very friendly, especially in a low-level library...
- <antrik> not sure what the general policy is about such things in libc

- <pinotree> tschwinge: btw, would you be able to tell if and what's wrong with a socket-related problem?
- <pinotree> it is reproducible with a very small self-contained C library
- <pinotree> http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libasyncns/
- <pinotree> it has a test case with it, which fails
- <pinotree> tschwinge: if that can ring some bell, imho the problem is related to SOCK_STREAM sockets created with socketpair and used with send/recv
