From 8633e2951d8eba59755c82ef10099ed47eafd474 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laszlo Ersek Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2018 19:09:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] BaseTools/GenVtf: silence false "stringop-overflow" warning with memcpy() gcc-8 (which is part of Fedora 28) enables the new warning "-Wstringop-overflow" in "-Wall". This warning is documented in detail at ; the introduction says > Warn for calls to string manipulation functions such as memcpy and > strcpy that are determined to overflow the destination buffer. It breaks the BaseTools build with: > GenVtf.c: In function 'ConvertVersionInfo': > GenVtf.c:132:7: error: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length > of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] > strncpy (TemStr + 4 - Length, Str, Length); > ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > GenVtf.c:130:14: note: length computed here > Length = strlen(Str); > ^~~~~~~~~~~ It is a false positive because, while the bound equals the length of the source argument, the destination pointer is moved back towards the beginning of the destination buffer by the same amount (and this amount is range-checked first, so we can't precede the start of the dest buffer). Replace both strncpy() calls with memcpy().
