https://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1797
We will continue this item next time that Paul is available.
1798: Must posix_getdents remember file offsets across exec? Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1798
Although closed previously, a discussion occurred during the meeting as follows:
If an application does something like:
dir1 = opendir(dirname);
fd = dirfd(dir1);
dirent1 = readdir(dir1);
dir2 = fdopendir(fd);
dirent2 = readdir(dir2);
Does the standard require that dirent2 either report end-of-file
or point to a directory entry that is not contained in the buffer
used by dir1? And if both readdir(dir1) and readdir(dir2) continue
to be used by a single thread and resinddir() is not called, are
the directory entries returned by those readdir()s required to
provide non-overlapping access to all of the directory entries in
the directory named by dirname (subject to the constraints aboiut
newluy added files might not be found by readir() on either stream
and deleted files might be found by a readdir() on one of them after
the file has been deleted)?
Furthermore, if the readdir() calls are replaced by posix_getdents()
calls using dup()ed file descriptors referring to the same file
description, posix_getdents()s calls (using dirrerent buffers and
different file descriptors) are required to fill the buffers with
complete disjoint entries for the directory (with the same constraints
about recently added and deleted files)?
This discussion took the whole meeting.
