Thanh Do commented on HDFS-7817:
--------------------------------
Hi [~cmccabe]. Thanks for pointing out the code. I was grepping the
{{hadoop-hdfs}} folder but not {{hadoop-common}}.
So this Jira is about using {{sys_errlist}} instead of {{strerror_r}} for
libhdfs3 right?
> libhdfs3: fix strerror_r detection
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-7817
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7817
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: hdfs-client
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
>
> The signature of strerror_r is not quite detected correctly in libhdfs3. The
> code assumes that {{int foo = strerror_r}} will fail to compile with the GNU
> type signature, but this is not the case (C\+\+ will coerce the char* to an
> int in this case). Instead, we should do what the libhdfs {{terror}}
> (threaded error) function does here.
