Makefiles are text files, they must not contain null bytes. The previous code in this area was rotten anyway. It assumed that buf_end could be NULL even if buf_ptr was a valid pointer, which is no longer true, probably since a few years already. Continuing parsing after a null byte does not make sense. If there's a null byte in a text file, that file is corrupted, and parsing it leads to unintended effects easily. Therefore the only sensible action is to stop parsing immediately. The check whether cf->readMore could be null was outdated as well, which previously made the fatal error impossible to reach. Because of the missing unit tests, nobody noticed this though. The "exit status 0" in opt-file.exp is worring but that's due to another bug and will be fixed in a follow-up commit.
NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ freenode.
