[Linux-ia64] pipe() not setting errno.

["Anders Herbjørnsen" <anders.herbjornsen@start.no>]

Hello,

When running out of file descriptors pipe() does return -1 but
errno is not set. This is working ok on IA32 systems, but fails
on IA64. I've tested this with kernels 2.4.9 and 2.4.18.

Below is a small sample program to illustrate the problem:

########################################################
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv){
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < 3000; i++) {
    int fd[2];
    if (-1 = pipe(fd))
      break;
    printf ("%d ", i);
  } /* for */
  printf ("\npipe number %d error: errno=%d\n", i, errno);
  return errno;
}
#############################################################

Sample run:

$ ulimit -n 12
$ ./tpipe
0 1 2 3
pipe number 4 error: errno=0
