Props to #OpenBSD! Really encouraging to see the removal of this sort of non-portable assumption. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=143329829606192&w=2 …
@canadianbryan @indieami #glibc is in the process of adopting obsd behavior but it won't be safe to rely on that for years.

@canadianbryan@indieami In@musllibc I've always taken an approach of not modifying output objects on error unless specified or inevitable. -
@canadianbryan@indieami But now I think@musllibc should adopt the zeroing convention too esp. since some apps historically relied on it.

@RichFelker Oh, looks like the discussion took a turn.. initially it seemed they were going with the "ptr unmodified on error" behaviour. -
@canadianbryan Yeah. And the manual is going to document the new behavior but that apps should not rely on it, & how to use safely/portably. -
@RichFelker@canadianbryan Interesting. And here I was thinking we'd have to remove the non-standard behavior.
