Subject: [PATCH] stackprot: Make our test a bit more complex
Date: Mon, 24 May 2021 14:59:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210524185913.10422-1-trini@konsulko.com> (raw)
With better compiler optimizations available, a compiler may see we do
nothing with our buffer after calling memset and omit the call, thus
causing us to not smash the stack. Add a comment to explain why we now
also have a printf call, so that the test will pass as the memset will
not be omitted.
