I believe it will be the last iteration. Actually the current ngx\_strerror\_r() in 0.8.x is a set of hacks and workarounds, collected during nginx development.

What about just not using strerror() while in signal handler (and using normal one in other cases)? I believe we’ve already seen too many problems while trying to build async-signal-safe version of strerror(). Maxim D. p.s. If for some reason you’ll still prefer to continue attempts to build async-signal-safe strerror() - please note that POSIX doesn’t require strerror() to return EINVAL for invalid codes, it only says “may”. ---

I wish it will… Unfortunately, I’m almost sure it won’t. POSIX doesn’t specify anything about error codes, and it’s not really safe to assume they are somehow ordered. > Actually the current ngx\_strerror\_r() in 0.8.x is a set of hacks > and workarounds, collected during nginx development. > For example, Linux GNU strerror\_r() is very different than POSIX one. Yes, I understand. My general idea is to use POSIX interface if available, and use hacks/workarounds only if they are known to be needed. This way it will be as portable as possible. The only real problem with POSIX strerror\_r() is that it isn’t async-signal-safe. And I think it’s fair enough to don’t print error message if an error happens in a signal handler. Maxim D. ---

The patch works for me. I was running into same problem when I was doing “make” with nginx-0.9.2 on SunOS 5.10. “‘NGX\_SYS\_NERR’ undeclared” occurred. But after patching auto/unix, make command finally works. Thank you.
