Bug ID: 68647
Summary: apr_pstrdup() with string literal
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: All
Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: marc.st...@approach-cyber.com
Target Milestone: ---
At many place, all over the code, we see apr_pstrdup() used with string
literals.
Is this needed? This question is useful for 2 points:
1. Could we optimize the code and remove that call?
2. More important: in a new code, is there sometimes a requirement to not use a
string literal? This would allow to avoid mistakes.
Obviously, the cases where we explicitely modify the string don't fall into
this question.
Example: in mod_include.c, we have that code:
token->value = apr_pstrdup(ctx->dpool, "");
Why?
At many places, apr_pstrdup() is used for values used in apr_table_setn(). Is
there a specific requirement in this case?
Thanks for clarifying this
