3: Here a list of possible problems of NetBSD/evbarm aarch64 that needs further

7: ## `mpv` SIGSEGVs (strnlen(s, (size_t)-1) always returns -1)
8: Just by invoking `mpv` via:
9:
10: % mpv
11:
12: It SEGV as follows:

14: % mpv

64: This happens because `strnlen(s, (size_t)-1)`, always returns -1, e.g.:
65:
66: % cat strnlen_size_max.c
67: #include <stdio.h>
68: #include <string.h>
69:
70:
71: int

73: {
74: int i;
75: for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
76: printf("strnlen(\"%s\", (size_t)-1) -> %ld\n",
77: argv[i], strnlen(argv[i], ~(size_t)0));
78: }
79:
80: return 0;
81: }
82: % gcc -Wall strnlen_size_max.c
83: % ./a.out foo
84: strnlen("foo", (size_t)-1) -> -1
85:
86: (This should returns 3, not -1!)
87:
88: The following patch workaround the mpv problem by avoiding all
89: `strnlen(s, (size_t)-1)` calls (and just using strlen() instead):
90:
91: $NetBSD: aarch64_problems.mdwn,v 1.11 2018/07/31 22:22:28 leot Exp $
92:
93: Avoid to directly call:
94:
95: strnlen(s, (size_t)-1)
96:
97: because on aarch64 ATM it (incorrectly) always returns -1 (also
98: when s is a string with less than SIZE_MAX characters).
99:
100: Add a kludge in order to use strlen() in these cases.
