Subject: [PATCH] off-by-one bugs found by valgrind
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 15:35:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1135197348.3046.7.camel@dv> (raw)
Insufficient memory is allocated in index-pack.c to hold the *.idx name.
One more byte should be allocated to hold the terminating 0.
quote_c_style_counted() in quote.c uses a dangerous construct, when a
variable is incremented once and used twice in the same expression.
Convert this construct to a more traditional form of the for loop.
