Subject: [PATCH 11/13] gdb/remote-fileio: remove uses of sprintf
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:16:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817151646.152571-12-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817151646.152571-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>
When building on macOS, I get some:
/Users/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote-fileio.c:264:3: 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]
264 | sprintf (buf + strlen (buf), "%x", retcode);
| ^
The reply built in remote_fileio_reply is made by appending to a fixed
size buffer, using a mix of strcpy, strcat and sprintf. Replace them
with the safer xsnprintf and xstrcpy. This way, every write is bounds
checked.
