POSIX allows these functions to be implemented in a way that the resulting string is stored in the input buffer. Though some may find this annoying, this has the advantage that it makes it possible to implement this function in a thread-safe way. It also means that they can be implemented in a way that they work for paths of arbitrary length, as the output string of these functions is never longer than max(1, len(input)). Portable code already needs to be written with this in mind, so in my opinion it makes very little sense to allow the existing behaviour. Prevent the base system from falling back to this by switching over to POSIX prototypes. I'm not going to bump the __FreeBSD_version for this. The reason is that it's possible to account for this change in a portable way, without depending on a specific version of FreeBSD. An exp-run was done some time ago. As far as I know, all regressions as a result of this have already been fixed. I'll give this change some time to settle. In the long run I want to replace our copies by ones that are thread-safe and don't depend on PATH_MAX/MAXPATHLEN. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
