#2885: Buffer overflows in mutt_gecos_name Comment (by vinc17):
The fix is implementation-defined behavior, and a C implementation may generate a trap when converting an unsigned value into a signed value if the value is not representable in the signed type. I don't think gcc can do this yet, but this would be a good (optional) feature (in case of a bug, a trap being better than an undetected overflow for security reasons). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/2885#comment:9>
