Subject: [PATCH] Fix incorrect use of strcpy.
Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:21:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331216484.2742.7.camel@gumtree> (raw)
The strings passed to strcpy may not overlap, but &p and &p[len + 1]
clearly do. memmove allows overlapping memory area.
2012-03-08 Chris January <chris.january@allinea.com>
* source.c (add_path): Use memmove instead of strcpy because the
strings overlap.
