OS X Yosemite bug: SCardGetAttrib ~ v code java script

This is part of the series: "OS X Yosemite and smart cards: known bugs".

SCardGetAttrib

SCardGetAttrib() do not work any more on Yosemite.

The function returns with 8010000c that is SCARD_F_INTERNAL_ERROR.

        printf("Reader : %s\n", mszReaders);

            err = SCardGetAttrib(hCard, SCARD_ATTR_ATR_STRING, NULL, &dwAtrLen);
            printf("ATR LENGTH : %1d\n", dwAtrLen);
            if (err != SCARD_S_SUCCESS) {
                printf("SCardGetAttrib : %08x\n",err);
            } else {

                SCardDisconnect(hCard, SCARD_LEAVE_CARD);
                SCardReleaseContext(hContext);
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Result (on Yosemite)

$ CFLAGS="-framework PCSC" make main
cc -framework PCSC    main.c   -o main

$ ./main
Reader : Gemalto PC Twin Reader
ATR LENGTH : 32
SCardGetAttrib : 80100001

Expected result (on Debian)

$ CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags libpcsclite` LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs libpcsclite` make main
cc -pthread -I/usr/include/PCSC    -lpcsclite    main.c   -o main

$ ./main
Reader : Gemalto PC Twin Reader (70D7E2EE) 00 00
ATR LENGTH : 20
ATR LENGTH 20

Known workaround

None known.

Update

This bug is now fixed in Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.0.
