[ID 20000206.001] Bug in IO::Handle method ioctl
Message ID:
389E013A.7187C08@claudio.ch
This is a bug report for perl from private@claudio.ch,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
my $file=new IO::File;
... correct open of file ...
$file->ioctl(someReadOP,$value);
does not work, while ioctl($file,someReadOp,$value) does.
This is ioctl in IO::Handle.pm
560: sub ioctl {
561: @_ == 3 || croak 'usage: $io->ioctl( OP, VALUE );';
562: my ($io, $op, $val) = @_;
563: my $r = ioctl($io, $op, $val);
564: defined $r && $r eq "0 but true" ? 0 : $r;
565: }
The $val passed to ioctl in line 563 is a local variable because
of the declaration in line 562. So any ioctl which reads a value
will fill in $val instead of the parameter passed to $file->ioctl.
To fix this, line 563 has to be changed into:
my $r = ioctl($io, $op, $_[2]);
This works (tested) because $_[2] is really the 2nd parameter
passed to $file->ioctl(someReadOp,$value).
[Please do not change anything below this line]
