Description Patrick Matthäi 2010-01-14 18:54:34 UTC 
Hello,

the glusterfs library calls a exit() in its code:

spec.lex.c:     exit( YY_EXIT_FAILURE );

Calling exit() in a library is not the prefered way, better it should return; with a proper return code.

The code ends up in this file:
usr/lib/libglusterfs.so.0.0.0

This issue exists in both, the 2.0.9 and the 3.0, release.

Please fix it in 2.0.10 and 3.0.1.

Cheers.

This is autogenerated code from FLEX and not code written by a developer. It lies in the autogenerated YY_FATAL_ERROR() macro.

What problem have you faced with the existence of the exit() call? It is not called because of a parsing error.
