Subject: [PATCH] Fix for gcc12 compile issues in ubcmd-util.h
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 19:02:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220129010215.781601-1-jforbes@fedoraproject.org> (raw)
While the current code builds fine with gcc 11, it does not with gcc 12,
resulting in:
In file included from help.c:12:
In function 'xrealloc',
inlined from 'add_cmdname' at help.c:24:2:
subcmd-util.h:56:23: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
56 | ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
58 | ret = realloc(ptr, 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The was mentioned in upstream gcc bug
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104069 where it was
determined that gcc was correct and the kernel needed to change. This
fixes that use-after-free and makes things build again.
