Summary: libgnustep-base calls exit() Project: GNUstep Submitted by: aloysius Submitted on: Wed 11 Jan 2017 10:35:30 PM CET Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Courtesy of rpmlint: gnustep-base.x86_64: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib6/libgnustep-base.so.1.24.9 exit@GLIBC_2.2.5 This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork() context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a library function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from handling the error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly, and cleaning up any state that the program has. It is preferred for the library to return an actual error code and let the calling program decide how to handle the situation.
