h8300-hitachi-coff-ar assert failure: *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/bin/h8300-hms-ar terminated

[Daniel Stiner]

Binary package hint: binutils-h8300-hms

Was building brickos from source, failed partway
Seems that the h8300 package was not built correctly?

Not a high priority, I just know that this build worked in 8.04 and I think 10.04

There seem to be a few sprintfs in the archive code that were overflowing by 1 character. I have reduced the padding length in the format string to remedy this and it seems to build fine for me. I have not tested this all the way down at the robots yet. Another possible solution (though I'm not sure which one is better) would be to increase the size of the character arrays in the ar_hdr struct in 'include/aout/ar.h'. Hope this helps someone else.

[Daniel Stiner (danstiner)]

Thanks for the patch Brian,

I've never patched and built from source, I tried but the error still seemed to be there when actually compiling the example robot C code.

I'll try to build it again over thanksgiving break and see how it comes out. Any building tips/a binary pre-built would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
