Bug ID: 81415
Summary: termio ioctl returns incorrect value for some
characters
Product: gcc
Version: 5.4.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libgcc

termio.c calls ioctl to get erase, interrupt and suspend characters
When calling ioctl to request key bindings, it returns a random value for the
Suspend binding.
On my system, if I do a stty -a I get this:
$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 =
M-^?;
swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

echoctl echoke
If I run the enclosed C program, which does an ioctl for TCGETA:
if (ioctl(0, TCGETA, (char*) &sgbuf) == 0) {
and then retrieves the key bindings for interrupt, erase, and suspend (^C, ^?,
and ^Z in the above output). It returns Interrupt and Erase correctly, but it
returns the wrong value for Suspend; each time I run the program it returns a
different value, though it consistently returns the same (wrong) value within
the program:
if ((int) sgbuf.c_cc[VSUSP] != 0377) {
printf("Suspend=%i\n", (int)sgbuf.c_cc[VSUSP]);
}
The program calls the ioctl three times to see if it always returns the same
value within the program. It does.
An example output:
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31
but the next time I run it:
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
This is attachment termio.c
termios.h says there are 17 characters (0..16) in the c_cc buffer. If I print
them all out (here I've run it three times), it seems like 4 characters change
their value between calls: 8 (VSTART) 9 (VSTOP) 10 (VSUSP) 16 (VEOL2)

(This produced by attachment termio2.c)
The equivalent function from termios, namely tcgetattr, seems to give the right
results, consistently over calls.
