The test_copy_bytes() function claims to read up to N bytes, or until it gets EOF. But we never handle EOF in our loop, and a short input will cause perl to go into an infinite loop of read() getting zero bytes. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I was playing with SANITIZE=undefined after René's patches to see how far we had left to go. I forgot to turn off sha1dc, which causes most programs to die due to the unaligned loads. That means git-archive in t5000 generates no output, triggering the bug. :) t/test-lib-functions.sh | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/t/test-lib-functions.sh b/t/test-lib-functions.sh index db622c355..50a9a1d1c 100644 --- a/t/test-lib-functions.sh +++ b/t/test-lib-functions.sh @@ -999,6 +999,7 @@ test_copy_bytes () { my $s; my $nread = sysread(STDIN, $s, $len); die "cannot read: $!" unless defined($nread); + last unless $nread; print $s; $len -= $nread; } -- 2.14.0.rc0.452.gc10560834
