Title: mksh 52c bi_errorf(Tbadsubst) format string is not a string literal Status in mksh: Fix Released Status in mksh package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Lastest mksh/histrap.c (R52c) has a warning from clang/llvm compiler. It is a tricky use of pointer to the middle of string literals, which is recognized by gcc but not clang/llvm. This warning now blocks mksh upgrade in Android open source. Could you fix the following warning and other places that use bi_errorf(Tbadsubst) or internal_errorf(Tbadsubst)? histrap.c:220:15: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security] bi_errorf(Tbadsubst); ^~~~~~~~~ sh.h:891:19: note: expanded from macro 'Tbadsubst' #define Tbadsubst (Tfg_badsubst + 10) /* "bad substitution" */ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The warning can be fixed by changing bi_errorf(Tbadsubst); to bi_errorf("%s", Tbadsubst); If adding a few bytes is not acceptable, could you change bi_errorf(Tbadsubst); to bi_errorf0(Tbadsubst); where bi_errorf0 is declared as void bi_errorf0(const char *); // without format check and implemented as a weak alias: void bi_errorf0(const char *s) __attribute__((weak, alias("bi_errorf"))); Attached file is a suggested patch to compile with Android.
