    • Priority: Icon: Major - P3 Major - P3

      Discovered on SERVER-40953, introduced on SERVER-34006, partial (incomplete) fixes on SERVER-39604, SERVER-38935, SERVER-37435, reduced diagnostics on SERVER-40693, SERVER-36809, SERVER-36600, SERVER-38633, SERVER-31081 and probably others.

      The cause is that #if !(__ANDROID_API__ <= 22) evaluates to false when __ANDROID_API__ isn't defined. This causes errnoWithDescription() to erroneously call the GNU strerror_r() from the code which handles the XSI strerror_r() variant. Since the GNU function always returns a non-NULL char * pointer, but XSI uses 0 for success and non-zero for failure, errnoWithDescription() always ends up returning kUnknownMsg.
