What were you trying to do?
Compile the new version of moira just installed in the source
tree for release 7.0.
What's wrong:
It's got a bug that any respectable compiler and/or lint
checker should have caught. It's a bit upsetting that bugs
like this are in fresh code handed directly to us from the
projects.
Note the following compiler error when compiling code from
/source/athena/athena.lib/moira/clients/moira:
cc -I/source/athena/athena.lib/moira/include -I. -O -c dcmmaint.c
w "dcmmaint.c",L269/C11: 5: Array subscript out of range.
In particular, the following declaration is inconsistent with
the array usage below it:
char *qargv[5], buf[BUFSIZ];
...
qargv[5] = "";
What should have happened:
Code handed to release engineering by project leaders should
be able to get by hc without error messages like this. This
isn't even a lint error, it's a real bug.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/source/athena/athena.lib/moira/clients/moira/dcmmain.c
