Problem summary


    

  • A self developed applications uses the libperfstat API and
one call to the perfstat_partition_config function:

rc = perfstat_partition_config ( NULL, pConfig,
     sizeof(perfstat_partition_config_t),1);

The application was build on AIX with libperfstat 6.1.7.16 and
everything runs fine.

Starting with libperfstat 6.1.9.0 the function call returns -1
and errno 22 (EINVAL). The documentation didn't report a API
change and normally the API is compatible with higher
AIX versions.
