Hi Henri, Verifying the value sounds like a good improvement.
The fix you suggested doesn't quite work since there is no conf variable available, so I guess you have made other changes as well. Also, there is an optional "verifier" for some configuration items that should be run as well. I made a fix based on your suggestion: https://github.com/jrosdahl/ccache/commit/3d05ccd8c8607a051cb80beeff340cc9aa1489c6 -- Joel On Mon, 17 Jun 2019 at 13:49, Houder via ccache <ccache@lists.samba.org> wrote: > Hi list, > > Just reporting (it is not my intention to create an account > on github in order to report a bug). > > Downloaded 3.7.1 and compiled it on Cygwin. > > Call flow for "ccache -o <key>=<value> > > ccache_main // src/ccache.c > ccache_main_options // src/ccache.c > conf_set_value_in_file // src/conf.c > > conf_set_value_in_file > find_conf(key) > "insert (or replace) key/value in cfg file" > > Function conf_set_value_in_file() only verifies that the key > makes sense; it does not check the user provided value. > > Resulting in an _illegal_ value in the cfg file, if the user > provided an illegal value. > > Subsequently, a command like "ccache -s" fails, reporting an > illegal cfg file. > > Adding > > if (!item->parser(value, (char *)conf + item->offset, errmsg)) { > *errmsg = format("Henri: unknown value \"%s\"", value); > return false; > } > > after the call to find_key (in conf_set_value_in_file() ) > > rejects an illegal value. > > Henri > > _______________________________________________ > ccache mailing list > ccache@lists.samba.org > https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache > _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list ccache@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
