Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tools/nolibc: tests: use volatile to force stack smashing
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2023 18:18:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230328161845.9584-2-w@1wt.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230328161845.9584-1-w@1wt.eu>

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

Use a volatile pointer to write outside the buffer so the compiler can't
optimize it away.
