Subject: [PATCH 2/2] posix: Deprecate group_member for Linux
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2023 11:34:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231012153508.2057768-3-josimmon@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231012153508.2057768-1-josimmon@redhat.com>

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.
