I have a few problems with this review: * I don't see in this review or in the patch you uploaded to the linked issue where ast_escape_c() or astman_escape_output() are defined. * This patch performs a lot of heap allocations and does not check for potential memory allocation failure. * This patch places the responsibility of escaping strings on all callers of ast_manager_event(). If escaping strings is an essential part of sending manager events, then it should be built into the function that sends manager events. Otherwise, it's easy for a programmer to forget to perform the escaping before outputting strings. If escaping of manager events is in the same location where manager events are sent, you may also be able to get away with fewer heap allocations, too, which is another bonus. - Mark Michelson On April 7, 2015, 6:25 p.m., warren smith wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
