Bug ID: 216872
Summary: Behavior for hsearch_r is flip-flopped per
documentation (behavior matches Linux, docs match
NetBSD)
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: n...@freebsd.org
It seems that we grabbed the manpages for hcreate*(3) from NetBSD, but the
actual implementation is patterned after Linux. In particular,
.../contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/stdlib/t_hsearch.c tests that text code from
a non-existent item when action=FIND, but the value it tests it against is 1
(Linux -> non-zero -> error), not 0 (NetBSD -> zero -> error). I opened a bug
for the non-intuitive behavior on NetBSD here:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=51957 .
The documentation should match the implementation, at bare minimum. Whether or
not the implementation matches Linux or NetBSD is a point of debate.
