Description ettlmartin 2009-06-18 13:51:03 UTC 
Hello,

i checked the sorces of libX11-1.1.5 with static code analyis tool cpppcheck. It brought up an issue in file libX11-1.1.5/modules/om/generic/omGeneric.c at line 618. 

Cppcheck has the following output:

[libX11-1.1.5/modules/om/generic/omGeneric.c:618]: (error) Overlapping data buffer rotate_font_ptr

Take a look at the sourecode (line 618):

sprintf(rotate_font_ptr, "%s-%s", rotate_font_ptr, fields[field_num]);

Indeed, cppcheck is right.


Best regards

Ettl Martin
