------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
After downloading the latest (10 June 2010) tarball.
I have compiled libssh2, with debug enabled, using Sun Studio 12 on
Solaris 10 x86 (64 bit mode), using the following configure parameters
./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/local/libssh2-1.2.6/ --with-
libssl-prefix=/usr/local/openssl-0/amd64-pc-solaris2.10 CFLAGS=-m64
When I run my test program it crashes in the _libssh2_debug function. This
is because is is trying to print the variable "message" using the format
string "%s", unfortunately "message" is a NULL pointer and causes a crash.
I suggest the following fix (this is the diff output from my fixed
channel.c file)
1216c1216
< (message == NULL) ? "<null>" : message);
---
> message);
I usually use the following in all my code to protect against this
#define NULL_STR(x) (((x) == NULL) ? "(null)" : (x))
