" This is w.r.t. the 0.64cvs as of around 20:25 EDT.
When gaim starts up, it displays the signon window, and
then immeidately segfaults. The problem is that
tobase64() in util.c uses a size_t (which could very
likely be unsigned) as a second parameter, but proxy.c
calls it with a -1. "
at my questioning the specific change he made:
"Actually the initialization is not the matter (just
something I did while debugging and did not remove, since it
makes sense in any case), it's the other change that matters.
In util.h, the javadoc-like comments states that passing len
= -1 means that tobase64() should calculated len =
strlen(buf). However, since size_t is (or can be) unsigned,
the "if (len < 0)" check never succeeds, so passing
-1
actually results in a very large integer being passed.
So the "if (len < 0)" check actually need to be
changed so
that the passed "-1" will actually get recognized."
so since most of us aren't segfaulting on start, i'm guessing this is a
platform/os specific problem, but that the change shouldn't affect the
rest of us anyway.
