- Subject: Bug in the mint lib: tcflush.c
-
-
- Please be aware that there's a potentially nasty bug in the current
- mintlibs. In the tcflush() function, the flushtype should be passed
- to Fcntl() by reference instead of by value.
-
- This bug should only affect mint 1.10 and greater, as previous
- versions didn't have my patch to make TIOCFLUSH versatile enough to
- handle the tcflush() function.
-
- This will be fixed in the next release, which is almost ready.
- If you really need tcflush() right now, stick a & in front of the
- flushtype, where's its passed to Fcntl() and recompile.
-
- Cheers,
- entropy
