--- Comment #9 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Xi Ruoyao <xry...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:04c5a91d068c4ca2f09c2bc206fce00db9d1790b commit r12-5234-g04c5a91d068c4ca2f09c2bc206fce00db9d1790b Author: Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> Date: Tue Nov 9 21:40:04 2021 +0800 fixincludes: simplify handling for access() failure [PR21283, PR80047] POSIX says: On some implementations, if buf is a null pointer, getcwd() may obtain size bytes of memory using malloc(). In this case, the pointer returned by getcwd() may be used as the argument in a subsequent call to free(). Invoking getcwd() with buf as a null pointer is not recommended in conforming applications. This produces an error building GCC with --enable-werror-always: ../../../fixincludes/fixincl.c: In function âprocessâ: ../../../fixincludes/fixincl.c:1356:7: error: argument 1 is null but the corresponding size argument 2 value is 4096 [-Werror=nonnull] It's suggested by POSIX to call getcwd() with progressively larger buffers until it does not give an [ERANGE] error. However, it's highly unlikely that this error-handling route is ever used. So we can simplify it instead of writting too much code. We give up to use getcwd(), because `make` will output a `Leaving directory ...` message containing the path to cwd when we call abort(). fixincludes/ChangeLog: PR other/21823 PR bootstrap/80047 * fixincl.c (process): Simplify the handling for highly unlikely access() failure, to avoid using non-standard extensions.
