Re: [FOUND] [9front] putc/fputc incorrect return

[tlaronde@polynum.com]

Here is the simple code exhibiting the problem. There are three
components:

1) int is negative;
2) there are at least two successive calls;
3) the stream is neither stdout nor stderr.

#include <u.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	FILE *fp;
	short w;

	if ( (fp = fopen("/tmp/bug.tfm", "wb")) == NULL ) {
		(void)fprintf(stderr, "Unable to open '/tmp/bug.tfm' for writing.\n");
		return 1;
	}

	/* Writing successively negative word on the file stream: bug.
	 */
	w = 0xffaa;
	(void)fprintf(stderr, "\nWriting big endian '%#hx' on file stream returned"
		" -> %#x %#x\n", w, putc(w >> 8, fp), putc(w, fp));

	/* On stdout, no problem.
	 */
	(void)fprintf(stderr, "\nWriting big endian '%#hx' on stdout returned"
		" -> %#x %#x\n", w, putc(w >> 8, stdout), putc(w, stdout));

	return 0;
}

Best,
