Question find_all_dots - Valgrind issue

Also worth mentioning that the reason we have not seen massive failures with this is proably due to 4 being equal to sizeOf(int) on 32 bit systems.

Hi Thomas,
Correct, I do not see errors a lot on this call. But Valgrind does consistently call it out as overlap. I think your assessment is correct about 64 bit vs 32 bit.

This should work:

Code:

memmove(arg, arg+4, strlen(arg));

I did not use memmove on this function. I used it in get_number() i consistently had issues with that function. Though your reference here might be worth testing for me.

in get_number() i replaced the strcpy() with memmove.

memmove(*name, ppos, strlen(ppos) +1);
// strcpy(*name, ppos);

I did use memmove after your suggestion. I should have used it from the very beginning. It does work, and it resolves the overlap.
