Hi all, running cppcheck on Balsa/s master sources, I got reports about readdir() not being thread-safe (“portability warnings”). Although there seems to be some confusion about this (see the glibc man page of readdir vs. IEEE 1003.1-2017), I think the better approach is to use the glib functions which also support other platforms like Windows cleanly (NB: the glib implementation uses readdir() for POSIX systems…).
The attached patch replaces readdir() and friends by the glib functions, and also refactors the affected functions in libbalsa/folder-scanners.c a little bit as to avoid “continue” statements which (IMHO) make the code harder to read. Opinions? Cheers, Albrecht. --- Patch details: - libbalsa/folder-scanners.c: replace opendir/readdir/closedir by g_dir_*, and refactor functions libbalsa_scanner_mdir() and libbalsa_scanner_local_dir_helper - libbalsa/mailbox_imap.c: replace opendir/readdir/closedir by g_dir_*
