Subject: [PATCH 1/1] kconfig: incorrect 'len' field initialisation ?
Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 23:10:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080518211024.D1B751C00086@mwinf2714.orange.fr> (raw)

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

Hi, here is a patch against /scripts/kconfig/util.c :
	
1) The field 'len' of the 'gstr' structure seems to track the size of the memory 
already allocated for the "growable string". So the value of this field should be
the same as the 'malloc()' just above, shouldn't it ?



Note: this patch is based on 'linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2'
