------- Comment #7 from sebor at roguewave dot com 2008-02-13 18:15 ------- I see I should have checked the actual stdio behavior instead of relying on the standard. Recent Linux and Solaris both do, in fact, generate SIGXFSZ out of C stdio. AIX 5.3 does not, and neither does HP-UX 11.23, although HP-UX 11.33 does, suggesting a bug fix.
Do you happen to have a pointer to the text in the POSIX (or C) spec that requires (or allows) this behavior of stdio? Also, even if it is allowed, I still don't think it's desirable. I'm curious what other libstdc++ maintainers think. Benjamin, Paolo? I'll probably raise this on [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35176
