  1. #define uinput_size       1024
  2. typedef wchar_t letter;
  3.  
  4. letter  uinput_text[uinput_size];
  5.  
  6. string basewindows_getuserinput(const string title,
  7.   const string cap, const string dtxt)
  8. {
  9.   memset(uinput_text, 0, uinput_size);
  10.   ...
  11. }
  12.  
  13. At the first sight, everything is fine with "memset(uinput_text, 0, uinput_size);". Perhaps it even was fine when the 'letter' type was 'char'. But now this is 'wchar_t', which results in zeroing only half of the buffer.
  14.  
  15. This suspicious code was found in Fennec Media Project project by PVS-Studio static code analyzer.
  16. Warning message is:
  17. V512 A call of the 'memset' function will lead to a buffer overflow or underflow. base windows.c 150
  18.  
  19. PVS-Studio is a static analyzer for detecting bugs in the source code of applications written in C, C++, C++11, C++/CX. Site: http://www.viva64.com/en/pvs-studio/
