Walter,

First, there's no memcopy [sic] in that code.

Second, memcmp returns an int.

Third, even if there was a memcopy [sic] returning a pointer,
you failed to notice the ! aka logical not.  Now, the result
of !p (where p is a pointer) will not be a pointer.

http://c-faq.com/null/ptrtest.html and http://c-faq.com/bool/bool2.html

That is, !p will always be either 0 or 1, and. nothing. else.
At least on any C compiler that's even slightly relevant.

This is not a suitable fallback implementation. It's not needed on
musl (we provide sigisemptyset), but if this version were used, it
would give the wrong results, because musl's sigemptyset only fills
the first _NSIG-1 bits and ignores the remaining ~900 bits of junk in
sigset_t.

Why does musl use such pointlessly huge sigset_t?


i would expect a warning here. ret is int and memcopy returns (void *).
This makes int=void*.
