Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-13
Severity: normal
When I invoke posix_memalign() like this (pagesize == 4096, BUFSIZE == 12M):
char *s;
posix_memalign(&s, pagesize, BUFSIZE)
It fails, but does not set errno with a reason. However, when I invoke
it like this:
posix_memalign(&s, BUFSIZE, pagesize)
It succeeds, and allocates a suitable memory region (if I decrease
BUFSIZE below what my application really needs, it segfaults just as
one would expect). However, the allocated region is aligned to the size
of the allocated memory region (if I decrease BUFSIZE, the alignment
also becomes more lax).
The documentation states:
Function: int posix_memalign (void **memptr, size_t alignment, size_t
size)
...which means (I think( that the first thing I tried was the correct one.
These are the versions of gcc I tried:
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
gcc version 3.0.4
gcc version 3.1.1
gcc version 3.2 20020809 (Debian prerelease)
I suspect that the fix is trivial :)

If it's failed, posix_memalign returns error, instead of setting errno.

I confirmed the latest glibc 2.3.2.ds1-13 + gcc 3.3.x should
work correctly.
