I am using R-2-10 from subversion. In the implementation of do_listfiles() in platform.c, it appears to allocate a vector of length count where count is calculated by count_files(). It then proceeds to call list_files(), passing in the vector but not the value of count. Yet list_files() doesn't seem to check the length of the vector that was allocated.
What happens if a new file was added to the file system between the call to count_files() and list_files()? Doesn't this write past the length of the allocated vector? -- ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
