Hi,
After a couple hours debugging code, I figured our an if()
somewhere had a trailing ; like this:
if (memcmp(p, COMMUNITY, strlen(COMMUNITY)) != 0);
continue; /* failed */
The code above will always reach "continue" even when memcmp() == 0.
I was surprised to see gcc doesn't report anything, I would expect
a "statement has no effect" warning.
Using gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
-Wextra enables this warning, as documented. Not 100% sure it was
there in 3.3.
If not you might want a more recent compiler.
