[PATCH conntrack-tools 0/3] fix potential memory loss and exit codes

[PATCH conntrack-tools 0/3] fix potential memory loss and exit codes

[Donald Yandt]

Vector data will be lost if reallocation fails, leading to undefined behaviour. 
Additionally, size_t should be used to provide the indices and sizes of vector elements.

If no configuration file or an invalid parameter is provided, the daemon should exit with
a failure status.

  conntrackd: prevent memory loss if reallocation fails
  conntrackd: use size_t for element indices
  conntrackd: exit with failure status

Hi,

Could you describe why these are needed?

Thanks!

Good catch.

Could you declare void *ptr at the top of the function? Following old
style variable declarations?

Thanks.

Hi Pablo,

I mentioned it briefly in the cover letter and explained why it should
be used in the commit message for version 2.
If you require any additional detail, please let me know.

Thank you

I moved the variable declaration to the top of the function in v2 as suggested.

Thanks!

Cover letter gets lost when applying patches.

Split descriptions into each individual commit, it really helps us.

Thanks a lot
