Kees Cook <k...@ubuntu.com> added the comment: The stack protector will add 8 (aligned, so possibly padded) bytes to each stack frame of functions with arrays of 8 or greater bytes. So if things are marginal, this could make the difference between Pythons compiled with/without -fstack-protector.
N.B. if rPath is compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and -O1, then -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 has no effect (it is only activated at -O2 or higher). Details on Ubuntu's compiler flag defaults: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags Putting MAXPATH on the stack certainly seems like a big waste of space, though. :) ---------- nosy: +keescook _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7332> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
