Bug#514704: Not a bug



Hi,

 

This was recently brought to my attention.

 

I would point out that neither of these are actually bugs.

 

First, the unconditional fsync() was intentional behavior.  At worst, it’s a NOP as the file will likely be flushed momentarily anyway.

 

Secondly, the gdbm_close() function is meant to approximate the behavior of the dbm_close() function, which is specified in the standards as a void function.  Hence, there’s no reason to check return values.
