[LTP] [PATCH v2 2/3] safe_openat: Fix undefined behaviour in vararg handling

Tue Nov 29 14:03:49 CET 2022


Accessing elements in an empty va_list is undefined behaviour.
Therefore, remove the variadicness from safe_openat as it always calls
openat with the mode argument included.

Adapt the SAFE_OPENAT macro to handle the change by passing a default
argument of 0 to mode if it's omitted.
