Bug List

Global apr_proc_t::invoked

This should either always or never be present in release builds - since it breaks binary compatibility. We may enable it always in APR 1.0 yet leave it undefined in most cases.

Global apr_dso_load

We aught to provide an alternative to RTLD_GLOBAL, which is the only supported method of loading DSOs today.

Global APR_FILEPATH_NOTABOVEROOT

in APR 0.9 and 1.x, this flag's behavior is undefined if the rootpath is NULL or empty. In APR 2.0 this should be changed to imply NOTABSOLUTE if the rootpath is NULL or empty.

Global apr_file_pipe_create

Some platforms cannot toggle between blocking and nonblocking, and when passing a pipe as a standard handle to an application which does not expect it, a non-blocking stream will fluxor the client app.

Global apr_strtoff

*end breaks type safety; where *buf is const, *end needs to be declared as const in APR 2.0

Global apr_proc_other_child_register

write_fd duplicates the proc->out stream, it's really redundant and should be replaced in the APR 1.0 API with a bitflag of which proc->in/out/err handles should be health checked.

Global apr_proc_other_child_register

no platform currently tests the pipes health.

Global apr_proc_wait_all_procs

Passing proc as a *proc rather than **proc was an odd choice for some platforms... this should be revisited in 1.0

Global apr_procattr_child_err_set

Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.

Global apr_procattr_child_in_set

Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.

Global apr_procattr_child_out_set

Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.
