Re: [U-Boot] fat.c:707: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

Dear Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

In message 20081213222225.GN15295@game.jcrosoft.org you wrote:

...

705 /* Terminate fs_type string. Writing past the end of vistart 706 is ok - it's just the buffer. */ 707 vistart->fs_type[8] = '\0';

why not do something like this

*(vistart + sizeof(volume_info)) = '\0';

Because that would be terribly wrong - sizeof(volume_info) is > 23 (probably 24), and vistart is a pointer volume_info, so you would probably write some 500+ bytes beyond the end of the buffer.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
