After upgrading to ubuntu artful (17.10) the new gcc seems to have -Werror=unused-result on by default which breaks compilation.
from man 2 getcwd:
On failure, these functions return NULL, and errno is set to indicate the error. The contents of the array pointed to by buf are undefined on error.
Now, the interesting bit is that if I compare the result with NULL, it actually fails with
NULL used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
so checking for 0... Not sure if this is pretty enough, but at least gets around the issue and shouldn't do any wrong.
