Bug ID: 67536
Summary: unix.c sanitizer detects null pointer passed to memcpy
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: libfortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: zeccav at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Running "make check" after building gcc the sanitizer complains that
at unix.c:497
memcpy (buf, s->buffer + (s->logical_offset - s->buffer_offset), nbyte);
the pointer buf == NULL
but nbyte == 0 so it should be harmless.
I believe that
if(nbyte) memcpy (buf, s->buffer + (s->logical_offset - s->buffer_offset),
nbyte);
should avoid this undefined behaviour.
