We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following: > echo "|/root/core_pattern_pipe_test %p /usr/libexec/blah-blah-blah \ %s %c %p %u %g %t 11 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" > \ /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated like below: argc[10]=<12345678901234567890123456789012345678> The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. This patch expands the size of parsing array, and makes the cursor out_end shift when we replace % specifiers.
