Subject: [2.25 COMMITTED] Fix the return type of the getentropy stub
Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170803225555.24273-1-aurelien@aurel32.net> (raw)
The return type of the getentropy stub is wrongly defined as ssize_t,
while both the <sys/random.h> header and the Linux implementation
define it as int. This patch fixes that.
Changelog:
* stdlib/getentropy.c (getentropy): Change return type to int.
(cherry picked from commit 2b34e2716f1e84b2c3457ffc868c3dc775b55845)
