From: Jinseok Kim @ 2026-03-01 16:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ltp
Fix various issues reported by `make` and `make check`:
- Drop ENOSYS-based logic and rely on TERRNO reporting
- Silence known format-truncation warnings locally
- Clean up string handling and permissions
- Fix minor style and prototype issues

This is quite an overkill. To reset a string in C you just need
buff[0] = '\0';
And the same for the others.. also make sure that boundaries are
correct, because I have the feeling we might easily overbound memories
when using snprintf() here.
Kind regards,

Hi!
Thanks for the review.
For the -Wformat-truncation warning in inotify02.c, how about fixing it
by adjusting the snprintf() call?
For example:
snprintf(fname3, BUF_SIZE, "%s.rename2", fname1);
snprintf(fname3, BUF_SIZE, "%.*s.rename2", (int)(BUF_SIZE -
sizeof(".rename2")), fname1);
Also, regarding the make check warning about ENOSYS: if I revert the code,
the warning will remain. Should this just be left as-is, or is there
another way to handle it?
inotify.h:36: WARNING: ENOSYS means 'invalid syscall nr' and nothing else
Thanks,
Jinseok.

The easiest solution is to make fname2 and fname3 array larger:

Use snprintf() instead of strcpy() to avoid potential buffer
overflows when constructing file names.

Fix various issues reported by `make check` in inotify syscall tests:
- Fix SPDX license comment style
- Make local functions and variables static
- Replace DIR_MODE macro with an octal permission value
- Fix minor style and prototype issues

This is a hack around the actual PATH_MAX feature. We need to use that one
instead of defining a new BUF_SIZE that might overflow.

Use snprintf() instead of strcpy() to avoid potential buffer
overflows when constructing file names.

Hi,
Is replacing
static char fname1[BUF_SIZE], fname2[BUF_SIZE], fname3[BUF_SIZE];
with
static char fname1[PATH_MAX], fname2[PATH_MAX], fname3[PATH_MAX];
considered sufficient here?
The -Wformat-truncation warning still occurs:
snprintf(fname2, sizeof(fname2), "%s.rename1", fname1);
snprintf(fname3, sizeof(fname3), "%s.rename2", fname1);
Since fname1 can already be PATH_MAX bytes long, appending a suffix
like ".rename1" or ".rename2" may exceed PATH_MAX.
Is it acceptable to keep this warning as-is, or should this be handled
differently?
Thanks,
Jinseok.

Indeed, compiler might complains in this case.
`snprintf()` can't overflow, but it can stop adding characters after `PATH_MAX`.
We need to verify the return value, but `PATH_MAX` can be still a valid return
value. I will cc @Cyril to ask for an opinion about it.
