------- Additional Comments From wmahan at gmail dot com 2005-08-28 22:18 ------- Hi, I submitted a different patch to the upstream FastJar sources at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1275036&group_id=426&atid=300426 before I noticed this bug. (It doesn't apply to the gcc tree, but it would be simple to make a patch if desired.)
When a zip-style comment is present, the patch by Stephen White searches backwards from the end for the central-header-end section to read the offset of the central header, while my patch parses through the file from the beginning to find the central header. Either approach should fix the problem. My fix might be a little less efficient, but I think Stephen's patch would fail if the comment happens to contain the magic string 0x06054b50. I'm not sure if that ever happens in practice. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13020
