Like xcalloc, but checks for overflow. > * dwarf.h (xcalloc2): Prototype. This should not be needed. xcalloc calls calloc, which should check for overflow itself. I see libiberty has a broken version of calloc, but since calloc is a C89 function no modern system should be using libiberty's version. If we wish to allow for systems with broken calloc, libiberty's configure should detect such systems (based on a blacklist of broken systems) and substitute a working calloc. (On the other hand, all the allocation macros in libiberty.h that do multiplications do need replacing by versions that check for overflow - that is, the existing macros need to be made to check for overflow, rather than having separate checking and non-checking versions.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
