It’s at least worth reporting a bug, I think. Does this happen with just about any binary, or you only tried once? We have multiple parsers; I suppose any of them could have bad behavior when trying to load binaries as text. But we have oss-fuzz: it’s supposed to find such cases, and then we need to keep up with fixing what it finds. Predictably, the more complex parsers have more bugs; and it’s not a lot. Anyway, please report a bug about this case. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
