Thanks for the quick reply :) I think you are right, and I did not consider "if (alloc->last == block)" Sorry for the false report... Best wishes, Jia-Ju Bai On 2019/7/23 21:47, Takashi Iwai wrote:

So the current code is OK. thanks, TakashiTo fix this possible bug, block->next is checked before using it. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
