Problem summary

  • some of the open() flags are defined as 64bit values.
    
    The O_NOFOLLOW along with some other open flags is currently
    defined as follows in fcntl.h

    0x0000004000000000L #endif #endif  ...  #define FNOFOLLOW
    _FNOFOLLOW #define O_NOFOLLOW FNOFOLLOW
    
    So these are long long values (64bits), they can not hold in a
    int (32bits).
    
    Also open() takes and int as parameter (32bits), as per man
    pages :  Syntax
           #include int open ( Path, OFlag  , Mode ) const char
           *Path; int OFlag; mode_t Mode;
    

Problem conclusion

  • Defined O_NOFOLLOW as 32bit.
