Re: etags.c segv

vin> On my Solaris 5.8 machines here at work, when running 'make vin> TAGS' with a 21.4.16 build, I'm getting a segv running etags. vin> So, I set external_to_internal_register to 0 and the crash vin> went away. That looks right. In XEmacs proper, the patbuf is taken from a static cache, so it will be initialized to all zeros. I forgot about etags when I synched this from 21.4 to 21.5. :-( vin> But, this can't be right, can it? patbuf is allocated in vin> etags.c and it looks like it's not fully initialized, but if vin> this fix is right, how could the code ever have worked? In 21.4 etags.c, this is quite recently added code (post 21.4.15; to fix the shy groups bug); maybe nobody's actually used etags.c with it. In 21.5 etags.c, the whole pattern is explicitly cleared by setting it to zeropattern. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
