It says: "The mbstowcs() function returns ........ or -1 if an invalid multibyte character was encountered." It is impossible, because its return value is size_t, which is a signed type. Looking on the online documentaton, I think it should return (size_t)-1 on error. I've also looked at the code and I think our implementation is standard-compliant, but could someone take another look, please? If someone can acknowledge I'm right, I'll update the man page.

Apart from the fact that size_t is an unsigned type, that is correct. The function returns (size_t)-1 on error. On another note, the XSI extension of allowing a NULL destination pointer to find the length seems to be implemented but is not documented. The EILSEQ errno is also an XSI extension. -- Jilles Tjoelker From owner-freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jun 3 19:28:11 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-standards@hub.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 33911106566B; Wed, 3 Jun 2009 19:28:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jilles@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::28]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 091E18FC15; Wed, 3 Jun 2009 19:28:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jilles@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (jilles@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id n53JSAdj091461; Wed, 3 Jun 2009 19:28:10 GMT (envelope-from jilles@freefall.freebsd.org) Received: (from jilles@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) id n53JSArU091457; Wed, 3 Jun 2009 19:28:10 GMT (envelope-from jilles) Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 19:28:10 GMT Message-Id: <200906031928.n53JSArU091457@freefall.freebsd.org> To: pmedwards@eircom.net, jilles@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.org From: jilles@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: standards/55112: glob.h, glob_t's gl_pathc should be "size_t", not "int".

I have a little problem here. I got an Acer Aspire 5735-4624, I decided to install FreeBSD 7.2 RELEASE. I downloaded the 3 ISO images from http://www.freebsd.org/where.html. Once I burned the CDs I procceded to install the OS but when the laptop is booting it restart right after this message appears: ------------------------------------------------- CD Loader 1.2 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found ------------------------------------------------- To see this message I had to press the pause/break button in the laptop to be able to write it down. I tried to re-burn the CDs and is the same. I re-burned the CDs using different CD burners now I have like 12 FreeBSD CDs. I tried using the DVD version and is the same it restart at the same time. Please I need help with this. Thanks!! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
