Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: OpenBSD has the same getcwd() bug. It was uncovered by raising current_path_length to 4099 in test_posix.
Here is a new patch that enables the changed posix_getcwd() function on Solaris and OpenBSD only. I've tested the patch on Linux, OpenSolaris, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. So far, there are three categories of behavior if PATH_MAX is exceeded: 1) Solaris, OpenBSD: buggy, getcwd() keeps returning NULL/ERANGE. 2) Linux: getcwd() returns NULL/ENAMETOOLONG. 3) FreeBSD: getcwd() returns SUCCESS/0. So FreeBSD is one of the systems that benefits from principally unlimited path lengths (though I doubt it is used much). I think the changes in the unit test handle all categories well, and perhaps they will uncover more problem systems. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17989/issue9185-2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
