Summary: configure.ac sets wrong BROKEN_ var (snprintf/vsnprintf)
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: HPPA
OS/Version: HP-UX
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Build system
AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: dleonard at vintela.com
The autoconf.ac test for a broken vsnprintf sets BROKEN_SNPRINTF instead of
BROKEN_VSNPRINTF.
This causes breakage on HP-UX 11.00, because the (otherwise usable) snprintf
prototype in stdio.h doesn't agree with the replacement provided by OpenSSH.
Output from openssh-SNAP-20051213's configure is:
checking whether snprintf correctly terminates long strings... yes
checking whether vsnprintf returns correct values on overflow... no
configure: WARNING: ****** Your vsnprintf() function is broken, complain to
your vendor
The config.h file contains no BROKEN_VSNPRINTF at all
$ grep PRINTF config.h
#define BROKEN_SNPRINTF 1
/* #undef HAVE_ASPRINTF */
#define HAVE_SNPRINTF 1
/* #undef HAVE_VASPRINTF */
#define HAVE_VSNPRINTF 1
