From eba52802cdde6ffc622ea3f8e12e4f55e43cc79b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Wouters Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 15:33:48 +0000 Subject: Backport trunk's r45715: Define MAXPATHLEN to be at least PATH_MAX, if that's defined. Python uses MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()), and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the most portable solution. --- Python/getcwd.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'Python') diff --git a/Python/getcwd.c b/Python/getcwd.c index 5c57291459..967d484b35 100644 --- a/Python/getcwd.c +++ b/Python/getcwd.c @@ -14,8 +14,12 @@ #endif #ifndef MAXPATHLEN +#if defined(PATH_MAX) && PATH_MAX > 1024 +#define MAXPATHLEN PATH_MAX +#else #define MAXPATHLEN 1024 #endif +#endif extern char *getwd(char *); -- cgit v1.2.1
