Doc Text:
Cause: A programming mistake in the program map lookup module caused an incorrect map format type comparison.

Description XuWang 2015-03-12 09:50:27 UTC
Description of problem:

View the code of modules/lookup_program.c of autofs, there is a very strange line showed like 181:

181 if (ctxt->mapfmt && strcmp(ctxt->mapfmt, "MAPFMT_DEFAULT")) {
182 struct parse_context *pctxt = (struct parse_context *) ctxt->parse->context;

the MAPFMT_DEFAULT is used as macro in autofs except this line. I think maybe it's the typo, so raise a bug to track it.

If not, just set it as "NOT A BUG" status.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

autofs-5.0.5-112

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.view the source code of autofs
2.
3.

Actual results:

use the MAPFMT_DEFAULT as a string, not a macro

Expected results:

use MAPFMT_DEFAULT as a macro

No, that's a mistake, it needs to be fixed.
Thanks for reporting it.

Test program to show the result of the quoted macro comparison

This test program can be used to show the result of the mistake
in the current code and verify the change works as expected by
comparison and inspection of the autofs source.

Comment 6 XuWang 2015-04-13 09:14:02 UTC
view source code, seems good.
run autofs test cases on RHEL-6.7-20150304.0 with autofs--5.0.5-113.el6, cover regression/bugzillas/connectathon/stress, no regressions.

so I change the status of this bug to be verified.
