Which tools are these? When I add
static void test_memcpy(void)
{
uint32_t dest;
char not_init[200];
int i;
memcpy(&dest, not_init, sizeof(dest));
for (i = 0 ; i < 10; i++)
not_init[i] = rand() % 255 + 1;
printf("%d", (int) strlen(not_init));
}
to the C code, it compiles cleanly if I do "make DEVELOPER=1".
