reassign 728953 valgrind thanks On Thu, Nov 07, 2013 at 11:07:00AM +0100, Boris D. Carlsson wrote: > Package: libc6 > Version: 2.13-38 > Severity: minor > > When strtod receives a string starting with 'n', it will read 16 > bytes regardless of the actual length of the string sent. >
strtod calls strncasecmp which uses SSE code to compare 16 bytes at a time. The code ensures that it will not cross cache line, and thus not page size, so this is fine as long at it discards any data resulting from comparison after the end of the string, which it does. There is therefore no issue with this code in libc, I am reassigning the bug to valgrind where some suppression files should be updated. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
