Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7476:
------------------------------------------
OS X and Solaris. As usual, this typically means removing the GNU-only crud*.
At this point, my task-controller uses fgetln() instead of getline(). Since
I'm lazy, it is easier to find code we can import that implements fgetln() in a
portable fashion than getline(). (Altho if getline() is present w/out fgetln(),
I've got a wrapper that implements fgetln() with getline()).
* Technically, getline() was added to super-recent POSIX, but none of the
platforms that I have access to have that other than glibc-based machines. So
it isn't that portable yet. :(

> Key: HADOOP-7476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7476
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.20.203.0
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
> Priority: Trivial
>
> It looks as though task-controller's configuration file reader assumes that
> the output of getline() always ends with \n\0. This assumption does not
> appear to be safe. See comments for more.
