Subject: [PATCH] scripts/basic/fixdep segfault on pathological string-o-death
Date: Wed, 02 May 2007 12:49:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46387AB2.1090800@warmcat.com> (raw)
build scripts: fixdep blows segfault on string CONFIG_MODULE seen
The string "CONFIG_MODULE" appearing anywhere in a source file causes
fixdep to segfault. This string appeared in the wild in the current
mISDN sources (I think they meant CONFIG_MODULES). But it shouldn't
segfault (esp as CONFIG_MODULE appeared in a quoted string).
