Subject: [PATCH 08/13] gdb/dwarf2: remove uses of sprintf
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:16:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817151646.152571-9-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/dwarf2/read.c:3773:4: 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]
3773 | sprintf (buf, "TU %s at offset %s", hex_string (sig_type->signature),
| ^
Replace them with xsnprintf, which takes the destination size and asserts
that the output was not truncated.
