Some people might say `hey, it's only an example, it doesn't matter if it's crap'. However, programmers using this example when writing their own code will probably replicate many of these mistakes, producing programs with unreliable and unhelpful error behaviours. I suppose we can forgive it for ignoring its arguments, rather than checking that it has none. Ian. Acknowledgement sent to Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>:

I agree, except that an example starts to lose its effectiveness to convey its intended message if real-life issues start to intrude upon it beyond what is necessary. Using fflush on stdout is one point that IMHO is beyond the scope of this example, although I do agree on the other points (to emphasize that one should always check the return code of syscalls and library calls, etc). > I suppose we can forgive it for ignoring its arguments, rather than > checking that it has none. I'm tempted to also address this in my proposed fix to the example, but as I said, this is getting near the point where it starts detracting from the point of the example. I personally regard it as extremely bad practice to declare main() as main(void); nevertheless, the stated purpose of this example is that it lists files in the current directory, and as such, it seems superfluous to declare and check for argc and argv. The official glibc maintainers can, of course, add this additional check to the example should they so choose.

Ian's concerns are addressed as follows: > * it does not check the return values from closedir or puts; Now it does. > * it does not fflush stdout (so that errors writing stdout will not be > detected unless they happen more than one stdio buffer length from > the end of the output data); I have declined to address this, since this example is mainly concerned with using the libc directory reading functions, not with handling stdout errors. > * it prints the error message about failing to open the directory to > stdout instead of stderr; The current version of the info file uses perror(), which, as far as I know, print to stderr, not stdout. > * when the opendir fails it doesn't print the value of errno. I believe using perror() gives a sufficient representation of the value of errno. > Some people might say `hey, it's only an example, it doesn't matter if > it's crap'. However, programmers using this example when writing > their own code will probably replicate many of these mistakes, > producing programs with unreliable and unhelpful error behaviours. I agree, except that an example starts to lose its effectiveness to convey its intended message if real-life issues start to intrude upon it beyond what is necessary. Using fflush on stdout is one point that IMHO is beyond the scope of this example, although I do agree on the other points (to emphasize that one should always check the return code of syscalls and library calls, etc). > I suppose we can forgive it for ignoring its arguments, rather than > checking that it has none. I'm tempted to also address this in my proposed fix to the example, but as I said, this is getting near the point where it starts detracting from the point of the example. I personally regard it as extremely bad practice to declare main() as main(void); nevertheless, the stated purpose of this example is that it lists files in the current directory, and as such, it seems superfluous to declare and check for argc and argv. The official glibc maintainers can, of course, add this additional check to the example should they so choose.

OK, IMHO, #28250 should be considered a more encompassing bug that includes this particular issue.
