[Openhpi-devel] mem*() related issues

[Dan H. <dh...@re...>]

Hi all,

during the test builds of the upcoming 2.14 on RHEL5 I have discovered 2
bugs where wrong size parameter was passed to the memcmp/memset
functions.

I did a quick scan of the usage of "sizeof" in the code and these 2
should be all occurrences containing the buggy usage of
"sizeof(SOME_DEFINED_SIZE)" instead of plain "SOME_DEFINED_SIZE".

There is another issue where it is expected that memcmp() will return
+1/0/-1, but by definition "an integer less than, equal to, or greater
than zero" can be returned.
