Bug#505784: pthread_cancel(3): misleading information on cancellation points
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.7-15
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man3/pthread_cancel.3.gz
POSIX specifies that a number of system calls (basically, all system
calls that may block, such as read(2), write(2), wait(2), etc.) and
library functions that may call these system calls (e.g. fprintf(3))
are cancellation points. LinuxThreads is not yet integrated enough with
the C library to implement this, and thus none of the C library
functions is a cancellation point.
This is no longer true, as you can easily check with the attached
program.

Bug#481543: glibc's snprintf bug causes printf(1) failure with MALLOC_PERTURB_ != 0
Jim Meyering [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... If it turns out just to be a bug in the implementation of MALLOC_PERTURB_, then it's not worth the effort to make gnulib work around it. However, if it's a real error in glibc's snprintf (as I suspect) -- i.e., the MALLOC_PERTURB_=N (N!=0) setting merely ensures a consistently reproducible failure, whereas the bug can be triggered with MALLOC_PERTURB_=0, but under some other circumstances -- *then* it requires a work-around. It appears to be a bug in MALLOC_PERTURB_ support, after all. Ulrich replied to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/470831, pointing to this change to glibc's malloc/malloc.c: (_int_malloc): sYSMALLOc might fail, in this case don't call alloc_perturb. http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=c60d15e79c -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
