/dev/zero is not specified by POSIX AFAIK but is common to most Unix implementations. It is, for example, described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/zero > "/dev/zero is a [special file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_file) in Unix-like operating systems that provides as many null (ASCII NUL, 0x00) as are read from it." I believe that behavior must not change. /dev/zero should never return anything but zero, regardless of configuration settings. I don't believe that this change should be merged as it (conditionally) breaks Unix conventions. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
