Some weeks ago, someone sends the following test programs that did not
worked with the snap of that time:
------------------------------------------------------
/* test-strerror.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *s;
s = strerror(-8);
printf("strerror returned pointer %p\n", s);
printf("string is \"%s\"\n", s);
return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------
A new snap (I do not remember which) was released with which the result
was:
____________________________________________________
$ ./test-strerror.exe
strerror returned pointer 0x22fa08
string is "error -8"
____________________________________________________
This was the result until the snap 20050826.
Now with snap 20050828 the result is:
_______________________________________________________
$ ./test-strerror.exe
strerror returned pointer 0x22fa00
string is "Unknown error 4294967288"
_______________________________________________________
Perhaps, this is not a regression but only a change in cygwin behaviour.
Best regards,
angelo.
