glibc-2.9.90-10 exports fallocate. |
Created attachment 331855 [details] Simple test application Description of problem: The Linux system call fallocate(2) has an additional 'mode' argument that posix_fallocate(2) does not have. While glibc does call sys_fallocate internally (if available), it does not fully export fallocate(2) to userspace. Request that fallocate(2) be fully exported to userspace, both in #include headers as well as a linkable glibc stub. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.9-3.x86_64 (but I also looked in glibc cvs, main branch) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build app according to fallocate(2) man page. 2. Compile app, watch it produce warnings and fail to link. Actual results: Compile failure. Expected results: Successful call to fallocate(2).
