Hello Jose!

Additionally, this code is only executed if you create such a file for the Watcom C compiler. >> In the case that the process flow executes code inside the "if" >> statement at line 170: "if ( dot != NULL )", there is a line of >> code where "dll_name" points to a local variable "temp" which >> becomes invalid outside "if" block.

Thanks for the analysis; this is now corrected in the git repository. >> I really appreciate if anyone can address this question and tell me >> whether is a real issue or not since you know much better the >> package and can analyze the code deeply. As mentioned above, it's rather harmless – and fixed :-) Werner _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
