Travis Vitek commented on STDCXX-597:
-------------------------------------
The test_access() function in 21.string.access.cpp uses rw_match() to verify
that two empty strings are equal. It does so with a line that looks something
like this...
const bool success = 1 == rw_match (exp_res, pres, 1);
Here is a simplified testcase that shows the UMR when misusing rw_match().
{noformat}
#include <rw_char.h> // for rw_match()
#include <stdlib.h> // for malloc()
int main ()
{
char* s = (char*)malloc (10);
*s = '\0';
const char u [2] = {
'\0', '\0'
};
rw_match (u, s, 1);
free (s)
return 0;
}
{noformat}
The problem is that the string `s' only has 1 byte of initialized data, and
that one byte is the terminator for the string. The rw_match() function expects
that the provided `len' is the number of characters before the null terminator.
So this seems like a bug in test_access(), not in _rw_get_char.
