Sorry for the late follow-up but current trunk still has the code
quoted above where we forgot to add 2 to the length parameter of both
strncmp calls.
I think it would be nice to teach the C and C++ frontends to warn
about this even though it might trigger in quite some code in the
wild.
Looking at gcc/fortran alone there are
gcc/fortran/interface.c: if (strncmp (mode, "unformatted", 9) == 0) // 11 !
gcc/fortran/module.c: && (strncmp (name, "__vtab_", 5) == 0 // 7 !
gcc/fortran/module.c: || strncmp (name, "__vtype_", 6) == 0)) // 8!
gcc/fortran/module.c: || (strncmp (name, "__vtab_", 5) != 0 // 7!
gcc/fortran/module.c: && strncmp (name, "__vtype_", 6)
!= 0)) // 8!
so warning by default with -Wall or at least per default in -Wextra
would make sense IMO.
cheers,
