Subject: [PATCH 09/13] gdb/elfread: remove use of sprintf
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:16:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817151646.152571-10-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817151646.152571-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>

When building on macOS, I get:

    /Users/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/elfread.c:813:3: error: 'sprintf' is deprecated: This function is provided for compatibility reasons only.  Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead. [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
      813 |   sprintf (name_got_plt, "%s" SYMBOL_GOT_PLT_SUFFIX, name);
          |   ^

Change this use of sprintf with an std::string, which also allows
getting rid of a use of alloca.
