Subject: [patch] fileio.exp FAILs if run as root
Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2007 18:58:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071208181422.GA10275@host0.dyn.jankratochvil.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 249 bytes --]

Hi,

if you run gdb.base/fileio.exp as UID 0 it will print:
	FAIL: gdb.base/fileio.exp: Open for write but no write permission returns EACCES
	FAIL: gdb.base/fileio.exp: Unlinking a file in a directory w/o write access returns EACCES


Regards,
Jan

	* gdb.base/fileio.c (ROOTSUBDIR): New macro.
	(main): CHDIR into ROOTSUBDIR.  CHOWN ROOTSUBDIR and CHDIR into
	ROOTSUBDIR if we are being run as root.
	* gdb.base/fileio.exp: Change the startup and finish cleanup.
	Change the test file reference to be into the `fileio.dir' directory.
