System name: rosebud
Type and version: POWER 7.4G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:
What were you trying to do?
Compile a program.
What's wrong:
/usr/include/unistd.h declares getcwd() as taking a second
argument of type int:
extern char *getcwd(char *buf, int size);
This is in violation of the POSIX.1 standard, which specifies that the
second argument should be of type size_t, which the ANSI standard
specifies as unsigned long.
What should have happened:
The header file and the getcwd() routine itself should be fixed.
Please forward this problem to IBM. It's obviously broken.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
POSIX 1003.1-1988
ANSI X3.159-1988
