Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] examples/server_node_efd: fix format overflow
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 11:36:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251115193749.101355-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251115193749.101355-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

If format-truncation is enabled, the compiler detects a string overflow
since the snprintf() is putting ethernet address and new line
in buffer only sized for the address.

Since get_rx_queue_name() is used to create a ring name.
The buffer should be sized to be a valid ring name.
This fixes some format-overflow warnings and also corrects
for future errors.

In file included from ../examples/server_node_efd/efd_server/main.c:31:
In function ‘get_printable_mac_addr’,
    inlined from ‘do_stats_display’ at ../examples/server_node_efd/efd_server/main.c:136:3:
