The array header is defined as: static const char *header[MAX_HDR_PARSED] = { "From","Subject","Date", }; When looking for the index of a specfic string in that array, simply use strcmp() instead of memcmp(). This avoids running over the end of the string (e.g. with memcmp("Subject", "From", 7)) and gets rid of magic string length constants. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@xxxxxx> --- This is a minimal fix. A good question, however, would be: Why do we keep on looking up constant strings in a (short) constant string array anyway? builtin/mailinfo.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/mailinfo.c b/builtin/mailinfo.c index 2c3cd8e..cf11c8d 100644 --- a/builtin/mailinfo.c +++ b/builtin/mailinfo.c @@ -334,7 +334,7 @@ static int check_header(const struct strbuf *line, } if (starts_with(line->buf, "[PATCH]") && isspace(line->buf[7])) { for (i = 0; header[i]; i++) { - if (!memcmp("Subject", header[i], 7)) { + if (!strcmp("Subject", header[i])) { handle_header(&hdr_data[i], line); ret = 1; goto check_header_out; @@ -929,13 +929,13 @@ static void handle_info(void) else continue; - if (!memcmp(header[i], "Subject", 7)) { + if (!strcmp(header[i], "Subject")) { if (!keep_subject) { cleanup_subject(hdr); cleanup_space(hdr); } output_header_lines(fout, "Subject", hdr); - } else if (!memcmp(header[i], "From", 4)) { + } else if (!strcmp(header[i], "From")) { cleanup_space(hdr); handle_from(hdr); fprintf(fout, "Author: %s\n", name.buf); -- 2.0.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
