Subject: [PATCH] posix: Deprecate group_member for Linux
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:20:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230921162057.3610289-1-josimmon@redhat.com> (raw)
The alloca usage in group_member could lead to stack overflow on Linux.
Removing the alloca usage would require group_member to handle the error
condition where memory could not be allocated and that cannot be done
since group_member returns a boolean. Thus deprecate group_member. Add
a testcase.
