Subject: strerror_r: fix Solaris test failures
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~2710
X-Git-Url: http://erislabs.net/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e67e250d98e9dc0177a564f2cbfa99330902fe9e;p=gnulib.git

strerror_r: fix Solaris test failures

Solaris 10 populates buf on EINVAL, but not on ERANGE.

* lib/strerror_r.c (strerror_r): Partially populate buf on ERANGE
failures.
* doc/posix-functions/strerror_r.texi (strerror_r): Document this.
