The question is how would 'read' fail or what would 'read' return?
For instance, the patch works for these cases:
- empty file
- non-integer
Now, if you are able to generate an incomplete file (from an integer
or whatever) against the patch fails, then we can examine. However, I
miss what would be the difference between this incomplete file and,
let say, this case:
echo -n -e \\x12 > ~/.cache/guix/inferiors/last-expiry-cleanup
handled by the patch.
Cheers,
simon
