Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Use string bound functions (take #2)
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 15:22:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200701291522.43504.Christoph.Egger@amd.com> (raw)
Hi!
I killed safe_strcpy() and almost all users from strcpy() and strncpy().
The remaining users are acm and acpi.
When this is done, strcpy() and strncpy() can be removed.
patch 1/3:
Changes arch-independent code.
Warning: Since tools re-uses libelf, this breaks the tool-building of the
Linux distris, whose glibc have NO strlcpy/strlcat.
Solaris and *BSD are fine. They have these functions.
Keir, it's up to you if you apply this or if you wait until a fix for the
tools is available.
patch 2/3:
Changes for x86 platform.
patch 3/3:
Changes for ppc/ia64 platforms.
Warning: Due to lack of hw, these two patches are NOT even compile-tested.
IA64 and PPC maintainers, please verify.
