Hi, Running sparse with this single line as the input file: #include "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (yes, that's exactly 257 "x"es) gives me this peculiar message: crash.c:1:10: error: unable to open 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/include/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/' Running it under valgrind gives a bit more info: ==15582== Source and destination overlap in memcpy(0x80A1BC0, 0x80A1AC0, 257) ==15582== at 0x4024116: memcpy (mc_replace_strmem.c:116) ==15582== by 0x8078E07: try_include (pre-process.c:713) ==15582== by 0x807B6F7: handle_include_path (pre-process.c:732) ==15582== by 0x807A476: preprocess (pre-process.c:1682) ==15582== by 0x804EB70: sparse_tokenstream (lib.c:751) ==15582== by 0x804FC1D: sparse (lib.c:878) ==15582== by 0x804A613: main (sparse.c:606) But I don't know how to best fix this, so I'm simply posting the report here. Thanks :-) Vegard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
