After I upgraded my Go from 1.8.1 I noticed several test failures. I zeroed down on the root cause for these failures and it appears that now pem.Decode behaves differently
In tests that fail PEM encoded certificate is copied to another preallocated byte array using copy function and then pem.Decode is invoked to extract PEM block Test case below illustrates the issue. Now if I pass pubPEMData directly to pem.Decode - then the test passes. It only fails when copied buffer is passed to it which has the same contents + 0 bytes at the end. Go 1.8.1 handles this case without problem. func TestPemDecode(t *testing.T) { // Invalid PEM encoded certificate just to repro the issue with pem.Decode var pubPEMData = []byte(` -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIHejCCBWKgAwIBAgIKYQ6Q0gAAAAAAAzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADCBiDELMAkG A1UEBhMCVVMxEzARBgNVBAgTCldhc2hpbmd0b24xEDAOBgNVBAcTB1JlZG1vbmQx HjAcBgNVBAoTFU1pY3Jvc29mdCBDb3Jwb3JhdGlvbjEyMDAGA1UEAxMpTWljcm9z b2Z0IFJvb3QgQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUgQXV0aG9yaXR5IDIwMTEwHhcNMTEwNzA4MjA1 OTA5WhcNMjYwNzA4MjEwOTA5WjB+MQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzETMBEGA1UECBMKV2Fz aGluZ3RvbjEQMA4GA1UEBxMHUmVkbW9uZDEeMBwGA1UEChMVTWljcm9zb2Z0IENv cnBvcmF0aW9uMSgwJgYDVQQDEx9NaWNyb3NvZnQgQ29kZSBTaWduaW5nIFBDQSAy MDExMIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8AMIICCgKCAgEAq/D6chAcLq3YbqqC EE00uvK2WCGfQhsqa+laUKq4BjgaBEm6f8MMHt03a8YS2AvwOMKZBrDIOdUBFDFC 04kNeWSHfpRgJGyvnkmc6Whe0t+bU7IKLMOv2akrrnoJr9eWWcpgGgXpZnboMlIm Ei/nqwhQz7NEt13YxC4Ddato88tt8zpcoRb0RrrgOGSsbmQ1eKagYw8t00CT+OPe HSMEGDAWgBRyLToCMZBDuRQFTuHqp8cx0SOJNDBaBgNVHR8EUzBRME+gTaBLhklo GEv/1rMjaHXmr/r8i+sLgOppO6/8MO0ETI7f33VtY5E90Z1WTk+/gFcioXgRMiF6 70EKsT/7qMykXcGhiJtXcVZOSEXAQsmbdlsKgEhr/Xmfwb1tbWrJUnMTDXpQzQ== -----END CERTIFICATE-----`) certBuffer := make([]byte, 10000) copy(certBuffer, pubPEMData) block, remainder := pem.Decode(certBuffer) assert.NotNil(t, block) assert.NotEqual(t, certBuffer, remainder) } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
