Looking at the uses of kvprintf(9), only [v]sprintf(9) doesn't have a callback function. It seems a little sketchy to me to be doing unsafe sprintf in the kernel anyways.
Should we (and by we, I mean me) deprecate sprintf(9) and convert the existing 1200+ uses to strcpy(9) for fixed strings (also potentially bad, but a different beast), or snprintf(9) where the size of the buffer is known? It seems like a large project, but OTOH sprintf(9) is mighty unsafe in the kernel. It's disapproved of for user-space as being unsafe for security reasons as well, but the potential downsides aren't the same, and we'll never clean up ports anyways. :-) Thoughts? matthew _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
