Bug ID: 37926
Summary: raw_fd_ostream::write_impl hang due to an infinite
loop with large output
Product: libraries
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: Support Libraries
Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
Reporter: gbrey...@gmail.com
CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
The Windows implementation of raw_fd_ostream::write_impl calls Windows write:
write(int _FileHandle, void const* _Buf, unsigned int _MaxCharCount)
ChunkSize is a size_t type (unsigned 64bit on x64) used for the argument
_MaxCharCount (unsigned 32bit). This means there is an integral demotion and
only the least significant bytes are retained.
In the case of ChunkSize over 2^32 the least significant bytes are used and the
write performs successfully. Ptr and buffer size are then modified to reflect
this write, meaning the next ChunkSize will be a 64bit value with the least
significant bytes equalling 0.
When _MaxCharCount equals 0 Windows write fails, but as this is a recoverable
error raw_fd_ostream::write_impl reattempts the write. The program is now
caught in an infinite loop.
This was seen on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2015, x64 build.
