Summary: strcpy used with overlapping arguments
Product: gcc
Version: 3.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ada
AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
ReportedBy: hermantenbrugge at home dot nl
CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
I just ran bounds-checking on the gcc-3.3.1 release. It produced an error in
adadecode.c. The problem is that it contains code like:
strcpy (ada_name, ada_name + 5);
strcpy (tktoken, tktoken + 2);
strcpy (ada_name + k + 1, ada_name + k + 2);
All of these strcpy's are illegal because the source and destination pointer
overlap.
