FreeBSD bugs list:
The following code generates a segmentation violation using gcc 2.6.2 as
shipped with FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE. It shouldn't! It seems as if any of
the string functions (strcmp, strcpy, etc) bomb when invoked with a null
string.
I compiled this using gcc 2.3.3 under AIX 3.2.5, and it works as expected
(prints "x is -1" when run). I am compiling this program (I called it
test.c) with: "gcc -o test test.c"... am I missing something obvious??
Perplexed,
Andrew
------test.c-------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
int main()
{
char *s;
int x;
s=NULL;
x=strcmp(s,"test");
printf("x is %d\n",x);
return 0;
}
