64 bit binary and 32 bit binary have different result. Is it library bug or compiler bug?

#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
DIR *s_pDIR;
struct dirent *s_pDirEnt;
struct dirent *s_pResDirEnt;
char s_backupDir[1024];
int s_rc;

s_pDirEnt = NULL;
s_pDirEnt = (struct dirent*)malloc(sizeof(struct dirent) + 1024);

if(s_pDirEnt == NULL)
{
printf("malloc error\n");
exit(1);
}

strcpy(s_backupDir, argv[1]);
s_pDIR = opendir(s_backupDir);

s_pResDirEnt = NULL;
s_rc = readdir_r(s_pDIR, s_pDirEnt, &s_pResDirEnt);

while(s_pResDirEnt != NULL)
{
s_pResDirEnt = NULL;
s_rc = readdir_r(s_pDIR, s_pDirEnt, &s_pResDirEnt);

assert(s_rc == 0);
}//while

closedir(s_pDIR);
free(s_pDirEnt);
return 0;
}

OS: Solaris 2.8

first, I compile this source with 32 bit.

CC -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS readdir.cpp -mt -xarch=v8plusa -o
readdir

and test like this.

echo "y" | testindex ./

It runs well. but It fails when I compile this source with 64 bit like
this and test.

CC -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS readdir.cpp -mt -xarch=v9 -o readdir

echo "y" | testindex ./

Assertion failed: s_rc == 0, file testindex.cpp, line 36.

So, I remove "echo "y"" and test like this

testindex ./

It runs well.

How can I fix this bug? Is it compile bug?

[email]newdaily@altibase.com[/email] (newdaily) writes in comp.unix.solaris:
| s_rc = readdir_r(s_pDIR, s_pDirEnt, &s_pResDirEnt);
| assert(s_rc == 0);

The man page states:
The POSIX readdir_r() returns 0 if successful or
an error number to indicate failure.

Have you looked to see what error number you are getting?

It seems to work fine for me, but obviously you haven't provided the
whole test case, since you show running a "testindex" program that
takes input, which this program does not, and isn't the name you claim
you compiled as. I would assume the bug is somewhere in testindex.

How long is he suppose to wait for this to change? :)

At least until the time_t's rolls over. And on a 64-bit OS,
that will be some time... :-)

I am sorry that i omit a "fflush".
CC -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS testindex.cpp -mt -xarch=v9 -o
testindex.
echo "y" | ./testindex ./

if I remove fflush, this test case runs well. but If I insert a
fflush, this case fails.

why does fflush influence a testindex?
