Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8792: ------------------------------------- Probably only in error. But an incorrect error message wouldn't help diagnose this. > Improve Memory assertions > ------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8792 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8792 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Reporter: Benedict > Assignee: Benedict > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.1.4 > > > Null pointers are valid returns if a size of zero is returned. We assume a > null pointer implies resource mismanagement in a few places. We also don't > properly check the bounds of all of our accesses; this patch attempts to tidy > up both of these things. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
