This patch fixes a flex-2.6.4 build failure on x86_64 and possibly other
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
architectures where `size_t' is larger than `int'. The failure occurs as
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
follows:
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
A missing `reallocarray' prototype during compilation means that the
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
compiler assumes an `int' return type. When compiling with `-pie' (standard
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
for Fedora), addresses on the heap can be larger than `int' can store. Thus,
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
pointers returned from `reallocarray' are truncated and any read/write to
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
them leads to a SIGSEGV.

Subject: [PATCH] build: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS in configure.ac.
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
This would, e.g. define _GNU_SOURCE in config.h, enabling the
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
reallocarray() prototype in glibc 2.26+ on Linux systems with that
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
version of glibc.
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
|
|
|
9e84d1 |
Fixes #241.
