getcwd is returning NULL

[Romil Mittal]

Hi,

 

Calling ‘getcwd(char *, int)’ from a shared library is returning NULL. The shared library is getting loaded from an Android app started from Launcher.

 

Is this expected?  If not, what should be the correct return value?

 

Thanks.

What value are you using for the second argument?

What is errno set to when the function returns?

I tried it in a native program and am able to get the correct working directory. Something like the following works for me.

getcwd(buf, 1024);

where buf has already been malloced.
