--- Comment #4 from Yi Fan Yu <yifan...@windriver.com> --- here are my findings i summarized to the yocto bugboard. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14223 ## what changed in this patch to cause it to fail? timeout argument the user passes no longer makes its way to the syscall. Glibc copies it over and converts into a different format to call a different syscall `pselect` the failing test tries to modify said timeout argument to make the syscall end faster. Unfortunately doesn't work. ## what about actually fixing this bug though? talking to valgrind about the purpose of nlcontrolc test - can we use a different syscall to sleep for a duration? - what is the exact purpose if this test ## other questions that arise Is glibc setting a new standard? what is the expected libc implementation of select? Grey area... according to `man select` ``` On Linux, select() modifies timeout to reflect the amount of time not slept; most other implementations do not do this. (POSIX.1-2001 permits either behavior.) ``` Did glibc violate the "linux standard"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
