# $NetBSD: job-output-null.mk,v 1.3 2021/09/12 10:26:49 rillig Exp $ # # Test how null bytes in the output of a command are handled. Make processes # them using null-terminated strings, which may cut off some of the output. # # As of 2021-04-15, make handles null bytes from the child process # inconsistently. It's an edge case though since typically the child # processes output text. # Note: The printf commands used in this test must only use a single format # string, without parameters. This is because it is implementation-dependent # how many times the command 'printf "fmt%s" "" "" ""' calls write(2). # # NetBSD /bin/sh 1 x write("fmtfmtfmt") # Dash 1 x write("fmtfmtfmt") # NetBSD /bin/ksh 3 x write("fmt") (via /bin/printf) # Bash 5 3 x write("fmt") # # In the latter case the output may arrive in parts, which in this test makes # a crucial difference since the outcome of the test depends on whether there # is a '\n' in each of the blocks from the output. .MAKEFLAGS: -j1 # force jobs mode all: .PHONY # The null byte from the command output is kept as-is. # See CollectOutput, which looks like it intended to replace these # null bytes with simple spaces. @printf '1\0trailing\n' # Give the parent process a chance to see the above output, but not # yet the output from the next printf command. @sleep 1 # All null bytes from the command output are kept as-is. @printf '2a\0trailing\n''2b\0trailing\n''2c\0trailing\n' @sleep 1 # The null bytes are replaced with spaces since they are not followed # by a newline. # # The three null bytes in a row test whether this output is # compressed to a single space like in DebugFailedTarget. It isn't. @printf '3a\0without\0\0\0newline, 3b\0without\0\0\0newline.'
