Subject: Re: [patch] Fix handling of overlength pathname in AF_UNIX sun_path
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:44:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120418204403.3eb7d994@pyramind.ukuu.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120417105107.GA8614@1wt.eu>
I think its pointless.
Yes there may have been a case years ago to nul terminate but thats now
how 4BSD defined the API so that's how the world looks.
It helps nobody on the app side because they'll be defensively coding for
the existing API for another ten years for enterprise distros anyway.
