Windows/MS has dropped strerror_r support due to it _not_ being thread-safe. At the same time, every *nix man page claims the opposite.
The recommendation is to use strerror_s, although when building with mingw-w64 we link against msvcrt.dll which does not provide the symbol under Windows XP. The issue is resolved in mingw-w64 master branch (Rev.6559), and stable (v3.x). Any version after mingw-w64-crt 3.1.0 should be OK (v3.1.0-2 if you're using Archlinux). v2: Update the commit message - Archlinux package 3.1.0-3 has the fix. v3: Move the definition to c99_compat.h Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <[email protected]> --- include/c99_compat.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/c99_compat.h b/include/c99_compat.h index bc8ddc6..be6a1d2 100644 --- a/include/c99_compat.h +++ b/include/c99_compat.h @@ -97,3 +97,10 @@ c99_snprintf(char* str, size_t size, const char* format, ...) #include <strings.h> #endif + +/* + * strerror_r (strictly speaking not C99) + */ +#if defined(_WIN32) +#define strerror_r(errno,buf,len) strerror_s(buf,len,errno) +#endif -- 2.0.0 _______________________________________________ waffle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/waffle
