Dear folks,
During my recent overhaul of our code I found that rstat_timeval
(defined in include/rpcsvc/rstat.h) did the following:
%%%
struct rstat_timeval {
u_int tv_sec;
u_int tv_usec;
};
%%%
While we have timeval defined as:
%%%
struct timeval {
long tv_sec;
suseconds_t tv_usec;
};
%%%
And we have some potentially incorrect code, which directly cast
rstat_timeval* into timeval*, which will finally cause some wasted data
overwritten on other places.
Is there any reason rstat_timeval is not an alias of timeval? Is this
for backward compatibility or inter-operation with other operating
systems?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
