#323 rawsock :end vs. :size confusion -> wrong buffer size

[Jörg Höhle]

Unless I'm mistaken:
rawsock.c:parse_buffer_arg: I believe there's confusion
about size and :end

*size = missingp(STACK_0) ? vector_length(*arg_)
: posfixnum_to_V(check_posfixnum(STACK_0));
data = array_displace_check(*arg_,*size,&start);
{ void *start_address =
(void*)(TheSbvector(data)->data + start);

handle_fault_range(prot,(aint)start_address,(aint)start_address
+ *size);

:start 1000 :end 1002 should yield I/O size 2, not 1002

Furthermore, :end >(length buf) probably yields
misleading error messages.

Possibly needs the test_vector_limits() abstraction
Maybe that function should be made available for use by
external modules?

Work-around: do not use :start/:end for now.

Jörg Höhle

thank you for your bug report.
the bug has been fixed in the CVS tree.
you can either wait for the next release (recommended)
or check out the current CVS tree (see http://clisp.cons.org\)
and build CLISP from the sources (be advised that between
releases the CVS tree is very unstable and may not even build
on your platform).
