Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] cfgfile: fix unitialised buffer
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 17:06:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435590363-4656-1-git-send-email-danielx.t.mrzyglod@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1435307833-7432-1-git-send-email-danielx.t.mrzyglod@intel.com>

Nature of the problem was not initialised buffer[256], there were probability
that operation system will provide previously used memory and on special condition
there were probability that string operations will work on random data that
could provide unexpected program behaviour.

Changes in v3:
-Simplify the initialization of buffer.
Changes in v2:
-Found the real nature of problem. Only buffer was not initilized.
Changes in v1:
-Add additional separate IO buffer and initialize both buffers.
