In /usr/src/tools/regression/lib/libc/string there is a test "test-strerror.c" which attempts to verify a correct value for strerror(0); This is probably a bogus value for strerror even though the posix standard does say it returns a string for any int. Unless the locales for the area are all predefined somewhere we probably don't need this regression test as it tests for the validity of the strings. In fact this test fails due to it not asserting the correct string. errno = 0; sret = strerror(0); assert(strcmp(sret, "Unknown Error: 0") == 0); assert(errno == EINVAL); I don't think this code has been tested in a long time... The string should be "Undefined error: 0" and why would 0 errno be EINVAL? If we are going to have a test suite it should at least be correct and documented don't you think? Dave
