F. Beebe) Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 12:37:24 -0600 (MDT) Subject: web2c 7.3.2 (TeX and Metafont) bounds violations Message-ID: There has been recent work on extended the gcc compiler to support bounded pointers: each OBJECT* pointer points to a 3-element structure containing the object's current address, and lower and upper bounds on the storage allocated for the object. You can read about it in http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/bp The reason for this post is to inform you that as part of the project, a number of open-source programs were built and tested with the extended gcc compiler, among them web2c 7.3.2, for which the above Web page notes >> ... >> Bounds violations exposed: >> >> * fixwrites: main read past the beginning of a string buffer when >> presented with an empty line. >> >> 100% of the test suite passes after fixing the bug listed above, >> and compiling with ``gcc ... -fno-strict-aliasing''.

Since TeXlive CDs are in production these past few months, it would be beneficial to incorporate fixes in new editions. I suspect that one or more commercial implementations of TeX also involve Web-to-C translations, so the fixes may be more widely applicable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
