https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D276632 Bug ID: 276632 Summary: LLVM std::filesystem::remove_all fails to handle dangling symlinks Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: markj@FreeBSD.org remove_all_impl() will attempt to remove a file specified by its path, recursing if it encounters a directory. It opens the file with O_CLOEXEC | O_RDONLY | O_DIRECTORY | O_NOFOLLOW, whi= ch for a dangling symlink returns EMLINK on FreeBSD, contradicting POSIX (which says it should return ELOOP in this scenario). Bug 214633 notes this probl= em, but fixing it would break compatibility. remove_all_impl() however only handles ENOTDIR and ELOOP, so it incorrectly returns an error in this situation on FreeBSD. We should extend it to check for EMLINK as well. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
