Parsing multipart MIME

Parsing multipart MIME

[Darío Mariani]

Hello:
   I'm building a minimal MIME parser, mainly to separate the parts in a 
multipart/form-data in a web POST. I was wondering if anyone made the 
regular expression for interpreting it. I thought of this:

multip  ::= start anychar* (delim anychar*)* end?

anychar ::= <any character including \0>
delim   ::= <delimiter>
start   ::= "--" delim "\r\n"
middle  ::= "\r\n--" delim "\r\n"
end     ::= "\r\n--" delim "--"

   I have little experience with grammars so this expression may be 
wrong. Any ideas? thanks,

         Darío

SEGFAULT

[John T. Williams]

    I can't figure out why this code sigfaults when it exits.
gdb only tells me

Program received signal SIGSEGV
0xda64a8c0 in ? ()

and shows the step as being the final "}"  in main ().
as far as I can tell this means either one of the linux libraries is wrong
or my code is doing something funny with a buffer.
I'll gladly e-mail a dollar to anyone who can tell me what is wrong with
this short bit of code.  Well, I mean what is wrong that causes the SIGSEGV.

Sandro has already pointed out some likely causes of the segfault.

However, the above GDB output suggests that you compiled the program
either without debug info (without -g), or without a frame pointer
(with -fomit-frame-pointer), or that you subsequently stripped the
debug info (e.g. with the -s linker switch).

If you want to be able to debug a program, use the -g switch for both
compilation and linking, and don't use any optimisation switches.
