Hi,

We are using MUSL C-library 1.1.22.
According to the POSIX standard, EOF should be returned and errno should be set to EBADF for the read group of functions (i.e. fgetc(), getc(), getc_unlocked()) when attempting to read from a stream with an invalid file descriptor open for reading.
However, in our tests with MUSL, we discovered that EOF is returned, but errno is not set to EBADF (it's 0 instead), for the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
   FILE *f = fopen("/tmp/getc_unlocked", "w");
   char c;
   /* Negative smoke testing. */
   flockfile(f);
   c = getc_unlocked(f);
   printf("c:%#x errno:%d\n", c, errno);
   funlockfile(f);
   fclose(f);
   remove("/tmp/getc_unlocked");
   return 0;
}

I tested the same code with Linux glibc and errno is set appropriately to EBADF.

The issue seems to be in the following portion of the MUSL library:
int __toread(FILE *f)
{
   f->mode |= f->mode-1;
   if (f->wpos != f->wbase) f->write(f, 0, 0);
   f->wpos = f->wbase = f->wend = 0;
   if (f->flags & F_NORD) {
      f->flags |= F_ERR;
      return EOF; // Here errno should be set to EBADF before returning
   }
   f->rpos = f->rend = f->buf + f->buf_size;
   return (f->flags & F_EO
}
