[patch 167/192] lib: memscan() fixlet

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib: memscan() fixlet

Generic version doesn't trucate second argument to char.

Older brother memchr() does as do s390, sparc and i386 assembly versions.

Fortunately, no code passes c >= 256.
