Comment #4 on issue 1644 by reinhold...@gmail.com: get_working_directory () issue?
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1644 Already fixed with commit if the return value from getcwd is NULL then the getcwd failed and errno is set to one of: EACCESS - didn't have permission to read or search some component of the path ENOENT - the current working directory has been unlinked Both of these are rare, but could happen. If they did happen, it would be kind to tell the user why the silly thing failed, but the return value of a std::string doesn't allow for a return value that would signal an error. That means that the only thing you can do to signal an error is throw. (You could always return some well known error value in the string that would be checked, but that seems hokey.) If you call get_working_directory, and it could throw, then you would have to have a try catch block. It's called from: lily-parser-scheme.cc (ly_parse_file) which assumes it always succeeds setup_paths in lily/relocate.cc which assumes it always succeeds Both of them currently would have problems if the getcwd failed. In both cases, if you could abort with a meaningful error message about not having access to the current directory, or the current directory no _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
