Hi,
gcc10 complains with two warnings when compiling libmicrohttpd using
#define NDEBUG 1
#define DAUTH_SUPPORT 1
so, "release build" with enabled "digest authentication":
../digestauth.c: In function 'MHD_digest_auth_check_digest2':
../digestauth.c:1287:9: warning: 'da.digest_size' may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
1287 | if (da.digest_size != digest_size)
| ~~^~~~~~~~~~~~
../digestauth.c: In function 'MHD_queue_auth_fail_response2':
../digestauth.c:1361:55: warning: 'da.digest_size' may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
1361 | char nonce[NONCE_STD_LEN (VLA_ARRAY_LEN_DIGEST (da.digest_size)) +
1];
|
This is a minor issue, without any practical effect, unless when calling the
MHD API with an invalid value for the MHD_DigestAuthAlgorithm enum.
However, gcc is still right that there is a potential code path with undefined
behaviour: the default-case in the switch statement in SETUP_DA does not set
"da.digest_size".
Two functions later still always read this value. And the "mhd_assert" has no
effect, since it's disabled when NDEBUG is set.
Trivial patch attached to silence the compiler warnings by also initializing
"da.digest_size" in the default case of the switch statement:
diff --git a/src/microhttpd/digestauth.c b/src/microhttpd/digestauth.c
index 04c9f22a..aaed170e 100644
