function "strftime" produce "No such file or directory" error
Hello, everyone.
This is a test program that generates undesired results when cross
compiling with eldk-4.0.
It is strange that localtime_r sets errno to ENOENT at the first time,
but never again in the following calls, while strftime always sets errno
to ENOENT.
But errno will never be set if run on Ubuntu 12.04.4, or Debian 7.
Can someone help me?
This is the output:
# ./test_timegen
1st errno = 0, Success
2nd errno = 2, No such file or directory
3rd errno = 2, No such file or directory
2000-01-05 04:12:11.661426
1st errno = 0, Success
2nd errno = 0, Success
3rd errno = 2, No such file or directory

1st errno = 0, Success
2nd errno = 0, Success
3rd errno = 2, No such file or directory

errno = 0;
}

To quote the POSIX standard:
Some functions provide the error number in a variable accessed through
the symbol errno, defined by including the <errno.h> header. The value
of errno should only be examined when it is indicated to be valid by a
function's return value.
and
Many functions provide an error number in errno, which has type int and
is defined in <errno.h>. The value of errno shall be defined only after
a call to a function for which it is explicitly stated to be set and
until it is changed by the next function call or if the application
assigns it a value. The value of errno should only be examined when it
is indicated to be valid by a function's return value.
That is, the value of errno when a standard interface like clock_gettime() =
or localtime_r() *succeeds* is UNDEFINED. It might tell you something abou=
t the internals of the involved function, but you can probably get that inf=
ormation more easily by reading the public source, or using the platforms's=
system call or function tracing functionality, and it doesn't change the f=
act that the call has claimed to do what it should.
To put it another way: What problem are you trying to solve by looking at e=
rrno on *success*?

Don't you have some system call tracing utility to see what is going on? The first time some rarely-used function is invoked, it might have to initialize some persistent state. This is a common optimization known by names such as "late binding" or "lazy initialization". It's possible that the initializations triggered by localtime_r need to read some files some files related to time zones and whatnot (which is a good idea to avoid doing if the program doesn't need it). Maybe that code searches the filesystem for some things, some of which are not installed, and so it receives some ENOENT errors.

After uploading the file /etc/localtime to the target PowerPC, the program does not set errno any more, and the result time has added the time zone. After that, I remove the file /etc/localtime on Ubuntu. And now it also shows an ENOENT error after localtime_r, but does not set errno after strftime. Whatever, it makes sense. And I learned what had happened. Thanks!

Yes, it is very useful, for many different things. Since you appear to be on Linux, its name is strace. Do 'strace ls' to see an example of what it does. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se> O o .
