Hello,
Please review a small fix for GCC 8.x warning in log_messages.c.
Buffer sizes for parts of timestamp string can be adjusted to not
exceed maximum buffer size when combined, while being able to hold
necessary information.
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dchuyko/8214854/webrev.00/
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214854
testing: after the fix GCC 8 compiles working OpenJDK on Linux.
Dev-submit job started.
This looks good.
One query:
51 typedef char timestamp_buffer[TIMESTAMP_SIZE];
Is this needed so that the size of the buffer is known by gcc inside
get_time_stamp? (Generally I prefer to see explicitly when an array
is being stack allocated, not have it hidden behind a typedef.)
This also caught my attention and then got me thinking on what basis
is gcc producing the warning in the first place. The warning is:
src/jdk.jdwp.agent/share/native/libjdwp/log_messages.c:75:24: error:
'%.3d' directive output may be truncated writing between 3 and 11
bytes into a region of size between 0 and 80
[-Werror=format-truncation=]
"%s.%.3d %s", timestamp_prefix,
^~~~
I think it deduced this by seeing that the call to get_time_stamp()
is passing in a char[80] for the tbuf argument. It then also sees
that the argument for the first %s is also a char[80] array, so is
pointing out that this first %s might fill (or nearly fill) tbuf, not
leaving room for the %.3d argument. If this is the case, there is no
need for the timestamp_buffer typedef. The real fix was making
timestamp_date_time and timestamp_timezone smaller so gcc doesn't
think they can overflow tbuf.

Current signature of helper function is get_time_stamp(char *tbuf,
size_t ltbuf). If we drop typedef change, this function either
logically needs ltbuf parameter or it internally assumes it to be
somewhat (TIMESTAMP_SIZE+1).
Hi Dmitry,
Ok, but that's unrelated to the compiler warning and not needed for the
fix. Using a typedef hides the fact that we are dealing with a char* so
makes the code less readable. I actually prefer the way it was with a
char* and size_t arguments. My next preference would be:
get_time_stamp(char tbuf[MAXLEN_TIMESTAMP+1])
Although I think it's also a bit odd. I don't recall seeing array sizes
in function prototypes before.
thanks,
Chris
In first case we in general should care about arbitrary ltbuf size.
Like 5 or 2. In second case there are no static checks/hints that we
don't pass tbuf of diferent size. So I preferred to have this
information in the function signature and to use known lengths of
parts: get_time_stamp(timestamp_buffer tbuf).
