Subject: [Bug libc/289] New: Mandatory use of xdrec_skiprecord undocumented
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 16:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040728161411.289.redhat@elektrono.com> (raw)

I have spent about 15 hours debugging xdrrec streams, and finally came across my problem when  
reading xdr_rec.c.  In a comment before xdrrec_skiprecord(), it mentions that this function should be  
called before trying to use the stream.  In fact, this record must be called otherwise reading from  
the stream will always fail.  I strongly encourage you to point this out in the rpc/xdr.h header 
file, so it saves some programmer some time in the future.
