[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/6] readline: avoid memcpy() of overlapping regions

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

From: Nickolai Zeldovich <nickolai@csail.mit.edu>

memcpy() for overlapping regions is undefined behavior; use memmove()
instead in readline_hist_add().

[Keep tab characters since surrounding code still uses them -- Stefan]
