Package: pscan Version: 1.2-8 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I have a 35700 line, 215751 byte machine-generated source file that kills pscan. There are other killer generated files, too, but the first one pscan hits is pretty representative. There's nothing very interesting about the file, other than that it's rather large. Experiment shows that 4 is the minimum integer multiple of the current fixed-size limit that works for our codebase. I've attached the obvious stupid patch. If you'd be interested in switching to C++, I'll happily write a patch that switches to std::deque and avoids this kind of thing. (It would be even easier to remove the fixed limit on the number of user-supplied functions.) Life's too short to be reimplementing basic variable-size collections in C, though :-( --- pscan.c.orig 2007-08-08 17:39:20.000000000 -0700 +++ pscan.c 2007-08-08 17:45:19.000000000 -0700 @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ static int warnings = FALSE; static char *filename; -#define FSM_MAX_STACK 8192 +#define FSM_MAX_STACK 32768 static parser_state_t fsm_stack[FSM_MAX_STACK]; static int stack_index = 0; parser_state_t *state = NULL; -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Versions of packages pscan depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pscan recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
