Build fails on Android/Termux

help: you can convert a `u64` to an `i32` and panic if the converted value doesn't fit

It seems the signature is different for Linux and Android. While Linux uses ::c_ulong (u64), Android uses ::c_int (i32).

The suggested fix works. I'll gladly propose a pull request if that is valid.

Hm, apparently

musl$ git grep ioctl\(int
include/stropts.h:int ioctl(int, int, ...);
src/misc/ioctl.c:int ioctl(int fd, int req, ...)

but

glibc$ git grep ioctl\ \(int
hurd/hurdioctl.c:fioctl (int fd,
include/sys/ioctl.h:extern int __ioctl (int __fd, unsigned long int __request, ...);
manual/llio.texi:@deftypefun int ioctl (int @var{filedes}, int @var{command}, @dots{})
misc/ioctl.c:__ioctl (int fd, unsigned long int request, ...)
misc/sys/ioctl.h:extern int ioctl (int __fd, unsigned long int __request, ...) __THROW;
sysdeps/mach/hurd/ioctl.c:__ioctl (int fd, unsigned long int request, ...)
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ioctl.c:__ioctl (int fd, unsigned long int request, ...)

baffling!

I think android uses bionic which is a fork of musl as libc, so this would be congruent.

Wait, we even handle this:

    let ioctl_request_type = match &env::var("CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ENV").expect("CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ENV")[..] {
        "musl" => "libc::c_int",
        _ => "libc::c_ulong",
    };

of course, since we handle it like this instead of by autodetecting, it's bound to break when someone builds on illumos or any other non-BSD host. Cool.

Can you try the current devel branch (at least 9e6fcd1)?

Can you try the current devel branch (at least 9e6fcd1)?

Sure. That fixes the error. Now it builds correctly.

Released in v2.0.0.
