From 99f0c7a8a6999e2f78fc065e4da78643ae14c14c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitezslav Cizek Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 13:47:18 +0100 Subject: openssl_strerror_r: Fix handling of GNU strerror_r GNU strerror_r may return either a pointer to a string that the function stores in buf, or a pointer to some (immutable) static string in which case buf is unused. In such a case we need to set buf manually.
