This is a known issue and I worked with upstream to resolve this.
Fixed upstream with this commit:

string: Fix strerrorname_np return value [BZ #26555]
It returns the string of the error constant, not its description (as
strerrordesc_np). To handle the Hurd error mapping, the ERR_MAP was
removed from errlist.h to errlist.c.
Also, the testcase test-strerr (added on 325081b9eb2) was not added
on the check build neither it builds correctly. This patch also
changed it to decouple from errlist.h, the expected return values
are added explicitly for both both strerrorname_np and strerrordesc_np
directly.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. I also run a make
check for i686-gnu.
Fixed with commit 69beb5cbf85cae1c61fe7432500ac10880dc7b07 on release/2.32/master.
We are currently waiting for the Fedora 33 release to open to allow us to update the glibc release.
I apologize for filing a known issue. It did seem too obvious to not already be known, and I did look, but apparently with the wrong search terms. Thanks for pulling the fix back to 2.32. It will be nice not to have to wait for 2.33. FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31 FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. I installed this from the testing repository by following the given directions, and can confirm that it addresses the issue. strerrorname_np() now correctly returns the error names. Thank You. FEDORA-2020-dd4d5f2d31 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: The new strerrorname_np() function in glibc 3.22 found in Fedora 33 Beta returns error strings rather than error names (i.e. what strerrordesc_np() is expected to return). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc 2.32, in Fedora 33 Beta, downloaded on Friday Oct. 16. How reproducible: 1. Call strerrorname_np() with an errno value, and observe that the error string is returned rather than the error name. 2. 3. % cat test2.c #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("expect EINVAL: %s\n", strerrorname_np(22)); } % gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE test2.c % ./a.out expect EINVAL: Invalid argument Actual results: expect EINVAL: Invalid argument Expected results: expect EINVAL: EINVAL Additional info:
