On OSF/1 5.1, the ptsname test fails: test-ptsname.c:78: assertion failed sh: 366922 Abort - core dumped FAIL: test-ptsname
The reason is that for e.g. a master of "/dev/ptype" the ptsname function returns the slave "/dev/pts/14" but our code expects "/dev/ttype". The two file names are not the same, but are hard links of each other. This fixes the test: 2010-12-22 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> ptsname: Avoid test failure on OSF/1 5.1. * modules/ptsname-tests (Depends-on): Add 'same-inode'. * tests/test-ptsname.c: Include <sys/stat.h>, same-inode.h. (same_slave): New function. (main): Use it to compare ptsname's result with the expected file name. --- modules/ptsname-tests.orig Wed Dec 22 17:51:05 2010 +++ modules/ptsname-tests Wed Dec 22 17:17:19 2010 @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ tests/macros.h Depends-on: +same-inode configure.ac: --- tests/test-ptsname.c.orig Wed Dec 22 17:51:05 2010 +++ tests/test-ptsname.c Wed Dec 22 17:24:45 2010 @@ -25,9 +25,32 @@ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> +#include <sys/stat.h> + +#include "same-inode.h" #include "macros.h" +/* Compare two slave names. + On some systems, there are hard links in the /dev/ directory. + For example, on OSF/1 5.1, + /dev/ttyp0 == /dev/pts/0 + /dev/ttyp9 == /dev/pts/9 + /dev/ttypa == /dev/pts/10 + /dev/ttype == /dev/pts/14 + */ +static int +same_slave (const char *slave_name1, const char *slave_name2) +{ + struct stat statbuf1; + struct stat statbuf2; + + return (strcmp (slave_name1, slave_name2) == 0 + || (stat (slave_name1, &statbuf1) >= 0 + && stat (slave_name2, &statbuf2) >= 0 + && SAME_INODE (statbuf1, statbuf2))); +} + int main (void) { @@ -75,7 +98,7 @@ result = ptsname (fd); ASSERT (result != NULL); sprintf (slave_name, "/dev/tty%c%c", char1, char2); - ASSERT (strcmp (result, slave_name) == 0); + ASSERT (same_slave (result, slave_name)); close (fd); } @@ -105,7 +128,7 @@ result = ptsname (fd); ASSERT (result != NULL); sprintf (slave_name, "/dev/tty%c%c", char1, char2); - ASSERT (strcmp (result, slave_name) == 0); + ASSERT (same_slave (result, slave_name)); close (fd); }
