Hi, Matthias.
I think it is unneeded and can be removed. ----- matthias.baes...@sap.com wrote: > > > Hello, is there a special reason to put a '\0' at the end of the “atom_name” - parameter of the XInternAtom call in isXCompositeDisplay ? jdk/src/java.desktop/unix/native/libawt_xawt/awt/awt_Robot.c : static jboolean isXCompositeDisplay(Display *display, int screenNumber) { char NET_WM_CM_Sn[25]; snprintf(NET_WM_CM_Sn, sizeof(NET_WM_CM_Sn), "_NET_WM_CM_S%d\0", screenNumber); Atom managerSelection = XInternAtom(display, NET_WM_CM_Sn, 0); I think on UNIX the snprintf implementations are conforming and zero-terminate ( exception was VS before VS2015 but this is unix/native code ). Reason why I ask is this warning we have in our AIX xlc16/xlclang build : /jdk/src/java.desktop/unix/native/libawt_xawt/awt/awt_Robot.c:153:65: warning: format string contains '\0' within the string body [-Wformat] snprintf(NET_WM_CM_Sn, sizeof(NET_WM_CM_Sn), "_NET_WM_CM_S%d\0", screenNumber); Thanks, Matthias
