Hi,

looking around for static analysis tools, I arrived on a commercial software that states that is has already found some mistakes in httpd.

Reading it, I noticed one of their example found in libhttpd. This example was against return value from 'accept'.

I looked in httpd for similar construction, and found one in modules\generators\mod_cgid.c:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
   sd2 = accept(sd, (struct sockaddr *)&unix_addr, &len);
   if (sd2 < 0) {
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


According to http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0105/ (search in the page for libhttpd to see their explanation), return value of 'accept' should not be tested for negative values, at least on windows.


I don't know if it is really an issue or not, I just wanted to point it out in case of interest for a httpd/socket/windows guru.


Is there any chance for (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52476) to be related to it ?


Best regards,
Christophe Jaillet
