[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56097] unlink ("filename") hangs GUI

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #56097 (project octave):

I doubt it's a problem with perl, but of course check to see.

In Octave, unlink is C++ code which calls a wrapper function around C code. 
If the operating sysem implements unlink correctly then the call is forwarded
to the OS, otherwise gnulib substitutes C code for an implementation that
works.

You can check by running the following from the top-level directory where you
built Octave


nm liboctave/.libs/liboctave.so | grep unlink


On my system, I got


0000000000e2b750 T octave_unlink_wrapper
                 U unlink@@GLIBC_2.2.5


so GNU libc is the ultimate provider of the unlink function for me.
