Description Ulf Weltman 2006-08-01 21:10:30 UTC

Both the Linux and HP-UX manpages for basename and dirname mention that they may
modify the argument, and that does seem to occur when a program is linked with
pthread HP-UX.

This breaks util.c:normalize_path() which is used to fix up the "-D" argument
from the commandline.  Subsequently starting FDS 1.0.2 on HP-UX results in this:
hptem145:/home/ulf/fds102/bin/slapd/server# ./ns-slapd -D
/home/ulf/fds102/slapd-hptem145 -i /home/ulf/fds102/slapd-hptem145/logs/pid -w
/home/ulf/fds102/slapd-hptem145/logs/startpid
Directory "/slapd-hptem145" is not accessible.: aborting now
usage: ns-slapd -D instancedir [-d debuglevel] [-i pidlogfile] [-v] [-V]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libgen.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {

       char* path = strdup( "/path/to/some/slapd-instance" );
       char* bnamep = NULL;
       printf( "path: %s\n", path );
       bnamep = basename( path );
       printf( "path: %s\n", path );
       return(0);
}

Sorry, it's a spiffy algorithm but it might be best to send scratch copies to
basename at least.  For dirname I guess it might not be needed since it's
called like "x = dirname(x)", at least on the HP-UX and Linux.

Comment 4 Nathan Kinder 2007-11-28 18:10:23 UTC

The server starts fine on HP-UX now, so marking this VERIFIED.
