Subject: [PATCH] grep -An -Bm: fix invocation of external grep command
Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:18:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vk5ogxhbd.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> (raw)
When building command line to invoke external grep, the
arguments to -A/-B/-C options were placd in randarg[] buffer,
but the code forgot that snprintf() does not count terminating
NUL in its return value. This caused "git grep -A1 -B2" to
invoke external grep with "-B21 -A1".
