| Summary | 0000100: dlsym return on success | ||||
| Description | _____________________________________________________________________________ EDITORIAL Enhancement Request Number 30 gwc:xxxxxxxxxxxxx Defect in XSH dlsym (rdvk# 1) [gwc dlsym return on success] Wed, 8 Apr 2009 09:43:51 +0100 _____________________________________________________________________________ The RETURN VALUE section on the dlsym() page does not state what the function returns on success, only on failure. | ||||
| Desired Action | Insert "Upon successful completion, dlsym() shall return the address of the named symbol." before "If handle does not refer ..." | ||||

In view of the recent discussion of XSH 2.12.3, I think that it would be a good idea to mention functions explicitly in the dlsym() RETURN VALUE section. I suggest that instead of inserting the text proposed in the Desired Action, we should instead insert: "Upon successful completion, if the named symbol refers to a function, dlsym() shall return the address of the function converted from type pointer to function to type pointer to void, otherwise dlsym() shall return the address of the named symbol." |

The resolution proposed here has been incorporated in a larger set if changes to dlclose(), dlopen(), and dlsym() in 0000074. Therefore, this issue has been closed as a duplicate of that bug. |
