The two in cake_heap_swap() can probably go away completely - they were there to make sure the heap algorithms were working correctly. They never did trigger, as it happens. The other two are genuine serious bugs (array overflow) if they ever trigger. It’s safer to leave them as-is. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
